Hi Guys,

Been looking and wondering if anyone knows much about WAC divisions and such, some of the research i have done doesn't seem to have any specific units like the male units do eg, the 101st, 82nd, 1st Division and so on.

If anyone fancies helping me build a good knowledge of who i am portraying that would be awesome :-D

I've got to go get the kids from school, I've been reading on elsewhere about 2 women assigned to 101st as admin, I'll point you in the direction of the girls in the know if you want with a link when I get back ;)

Some useful links you've probs already looked at these, but just incase ... and the last link is a new forum for female reenactors, its very new (as in katy started yesterday) but has several ladies already that portray WAC's and have oodles of information that am sure would be of help to you :D if you get stuck and need to ask someone, these are the girls to ask that I mentioned above ;) Also amazon and abebooks have a good selection of WAC books (some out of print) that may be of interest to you?

Found via a link headshot posting elsewhere for webby, but it has a link to this place http://www.ahco.army.mil/site/index.jsp apparently source of documentation for us services online and if WAC alone brings up lots of results am sure there must be something among the 500 hits within their records that may be of help to you :D
