Synopsis
"An Army in Skirts" is a time machine built from the letters and memories of a young woman who served her country in uniform during World War II. Frances Brown takes us into her world in a straight forward, understated, and often times startling manner. She seems to have taken in stride the daily dangers from bombings in England and France. In contrast, her letters home speak of ordinary but very interesting details of daily life as a WAC, because war information was censored. Together, the two viewpoints make for a facsinating read into our parents' or grandparents' world. In particular, I was so impressed with the morals of her day, even in the midst of war., More than 150,000 women served in the Women's Army Corps in World War II and more than 7,600 served in the European Theater of Operations. One of these women was Frances DeBra Brown from Danville, Indiana, who worked as a draftsman at American headquarters in London and Paris. An Army in Skirts: The World War II Letters of Frances DeBra contains the letters that Frances wrote to her family and letters she received. The letters vividly detail her World War II service, beginning with basic training at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. She had assignments in Marianna, Florida, London, and Paris. While in Paris she attended classes at the cole des Beaux-Arts and received a marriage proposal.
