Laugh, Cry and Remember is the personal experience of a kid from Brooklyn, a civilian-soldier during World War II, who found herself on that stony uphill path where the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (later the Women's Army Corps) was the unwitting vanguard for women's liberation. Initially occupied with drawing secret maps, charts and graphs, Pollard became a poster designer and publicity person for recruitment while fighting the battle of heartache at the sight of men torn from hearth and home. The narrative unfolds from enlistment day through many posts, with Pollard's laughter and tears exemplifying the commitment of those soldiers who, as members of the first permanent female army, changed forever women's roles in the defense of our nation.

Seller's Description:
Very good. xxi, 23-218, [1] p. Illustrations. Signed by author. Cover has some wear and soiling. "Laugh, Cry and Remember" is the personal experience of a kid from Brooklyn, a civilian-turned-soldier in WWII, who trod the stony uphill path where the WAAC/WAC was the unwitting avant-garde for women's rights. Initially occupied with secret charts & graphs, she became a poster designer for recruitment while fighting the battle of heartache at the sight of men torn from hearth and home. From enlistment day through many posts and Army schools, Pollard's laughter and tears exemplifies the commitment of those members of the first permanent female Forces who changed forever women's roles in the defense of our nation. The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was the women's branch of the United States Army. It was created as an auxiliary unit, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) on 15 May 1942 by Public Law 554, and converted to full status as the WAC on 1 July 1943. Its first director was Oveta Culp Hobby, a prominent society woman in Texas. The WAC was disbanded in 1978, and all units were integrated with male units.
