Hampton Roads Wartime Women

Happy Fourth of July from Hampton Roads Wartime Women!

Another photo recreation from Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation. Cpl. Leon R. Camron is being celebrated as the 500,000 debarkee of HRPE since its activation in 1942. Cpl Camron is greeted by WAC Cpt. Geraldine C. Glockner and WAC Cpl Mable Becker.

You may remember an earlier post we made about the adorable Sgt Floopy, a WAC Sgt raccoon who “served” here at Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation with her human Pvt William Bailey. had the brilliant idea to bring Sgt Floopy “to life” at MTA with an adorable raccoon stuffed animal complete with OD green sweater and Sgt stripes. Needless to say, Sgt Floopy was a hit! We enjoyed recreating a few HRPE photos with her. Thank you to for the use of their photos

Come see up at Historic Endview on Saturday!

Another aspect of HRPE we brought to MTA was the WAC Day room, which hosted leisure activities like checkers and letter writing. It also hosted an officers tea with luncheon and cake!
