Coverage

Des Moines:

Publisher

Publications Office, Fort Des Moines, Iowa

Date

October 7, 1944.

Description

One of the largest military installations for WACs was Fort Des Moines, and so it was only fitting that women produced their own weekly newspaper there. WAC News heralded the work women were performing in all theaters of war. To celebrate the paper’s two-year anniversary, the Army’s most famous cartoonists, Milton Caniff and Sgt. Sansone, collaborated to congratulate “the gang at Ft. Des Moines.”
