So Long! Farewell!

Looks like here’s the answer to our question from yesterday. The WAVES are heading off to new adventures, bidding a fond farewell. That must be why those sailors looked so upset.

The August 1944 photo comes from the National Archives.

These sailors don’t seem to be too happy about what’s happening. Are the WAVES leaving? They have suitcases in tow in this August 1944 photograph.

If you’re heading for a trip this summer, you’re likely taking a suitcase or two. Could you find yours in these stacks and stacks of bags? Hope the WAVES didn’t have any lost luggage as they were heading from training to their permanent stations!

The photo comes from the National Archives.
