26. World War II Nurses
Describes personal experiences of nurses who served in the battlefronts from North Africa to Italy to Normandy to Corregidor and Bataan.
http://members.aol.com/ksurn/page5/index.htm
World War II (1941-1945) "Sometimes I think maybe it's a good thing their mothers can't see them when they die" Mary Ferrell
Nurses, of course, are among these veterans. Serving on b attlefronts from North Africa to Italy to Normandy to Corregidor and Bataan, the nurses of World War II contributed much to the care of the wounded, the morale of the fighting men, and the development of nursing as a profession. In all, approximately 57,000 nurses served in the Army Nurse Corps and 16,000 in the Navy Nurse Corps by V-J Day. 4,644 nurses were stationed along the European front in 1944; 4000 were serving on the Pacific front in 1945. By the war's end, 201 American military nurses had died, 16 from enemy fire. "I can paint no pretty picture of life in the Army...in the loneliness and confusion of a chaotic world, one finds much hard work and sacrifice and little peace...(However) our individual integrity and sense of responsibility is the essence of success and survival of democracy" (Tomblin, 1996, p. 8). For nurses arriving at the 25th Station Hospital in Liberia, their first Army assignment proved to be something of a shock to the system. The nurses found themselves sharing their thatched-roof communal bathroom with lizards, snakes, monkeys, and rats so large that they sounded like a "herd of animals" as they scampered through camp. Nurses reporting for duty in Papua, New Guinea, found accomodations more suitable but were plagued with insects, scorpions, and the diseases they carried. One New Guinea nurse was bitten on the bottom by a scorpion as she used the latrine and nearly died from the resulting fever. On the European front, nurses arriving for service in France shortly after the D-Day operations received baptism by fire. Between July 3-18, 1944, the 91st Evac. Hospital cared for 2, 549 patients under constant enemy artillery fire.

The Country Goes to War:
World War II
The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1942 catapulted the United States into World War II. Graduates quickly responded to the military's call for nurses, leaving the home front understaffed. The need for nurses was great in all aspects of service: in hospitals, in the community, and in industry.
"Be it resolved ... that we, the delegates of the American Nurses Association ... wish to offer the support and strength of our organizations in any nursing activity in which we can be of service to the country."
Report of Committee on Resolutions, Report of the 32nd Biennial Convention (p.80), American Nurses Association Resolution, May 1940
US Cadet Nurse Corps, 1943 1948
After careful consideration of nursing needs, the National Nursing Council for War Services (1940), chaired by ANA president Julia Stimson, developed a plan to increase the number of nurses in the country as quickly as possible. The plan, introduced to Congress by Frances Payne Bolton, congresswoman from Ohio, created the US Cadet Nurse Corps. Under this Act, the United States Public Health Service subsidized the entire education of nursing students including tuition, fees, books, uniforms and monthly stipends. To obtain the benefits, a student was required to promise to engage in essential military or civilian nursing for the duration of the war. Over 179,000 young women enrolled in the Corps.
Urgent Need For Nurses
"The Army nurse corps must have 10,000 nurses in the shortest possible time. Campaigns on all fronts are resulting in about 12,000 casualties a week ..."

African-Americans in the U.S. Merchant Marine and U.S. Maritime Service The SS Booker T. Washington
Of the approximately 2,700 Liberty Ships, 17 were named for outstanding African-Americans. The first, in honor of Booker T. Washington , was christened by Marian Anderson in 1942. Captain Hugh Mulzac , an African-American, served as master of the ship for four years, delivering troops and supplies to the war zones. Adrian T. Richardson, John Godfrey , and Clifton Lastic also captained mixed-race crews during WWII. Captain Hugh Mulzac
In 1942, against overwhelming odds, Captain Hugh Mulzac became the first African-American merchant marine naval officer to command an integrated crew during World War II. Born March 26, 1886 on Union Island, St. Vincent Island Group, British West Indies, Mulzac entered the Swansea Nautical College in South Wales to prepare for a seaman's career while in his youth. He became an American citizen in 1918, and continued his training at the Shipping Board in New York. He earned his captain's rating in the merchant marine in 1918, but racial prejudice denied him the right to command a ship. Later Mulzac was offered the command of a ship with an all-black crew. He refused, declaring that "under no circumstances will I command a Jim Crow vessel." Twenty-two years passed before Mulzac would again receive an offer to command a naval ship. During World War II, his demand for an integrated crew was finally met, and he was put in command of the
