The first Negro WACs to arrive [on] the continent of Europe were 800 girls of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Bn, who had also been the first to arrive in England. After the battalion had set up its facilities at Rouen, France, it held an open house, which was attended by hundreds of Negro soldiers. Pvt. Ruth L. James of the battalion area is on duty at the gate. May 26, 1945. Courtesy of the National Archives.
