Here’s an example of how the WAVES photographs were used in Navy publications, in this case the monthly WAVES Newsletter. Here, hospital corps workers (aka pharmacist’s mates) are at work at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.

At the Naval hospital in Oakland, California, WAVES Eleanor Kerper and Dorothy Overstreet operate an x-ray machine checking for skull fracture on the patient.

The 1943 photo comes from the National Archives.
