U.S. Army Center of Military History . The Army Nurse Corps. CreateSpace Publishing 2014. https://history.army.mil/books/wwii/72-14/72-14.HTM.
This source is part of a collection of 40+ books that discuss the effects and stories of World War ll from the eyes of those alive at that time. In this specific book, the topic is on the Army Nurse Corps and the women involved within that. It discusses the statistics of nurses in the World War II, the events that included the nurses, and the place of nurses within the military at this time in the war. There is also insight in what to read next to continue learning about the war and the role nurses played as the war continued on. The U.S. Army Center of Military History wrote this book and it is a great way to get basic information about nurses as a whole during the war.

Francie Bernier’s article about nursing really delves into detail about certain positions nurses had when serving in World War II. In this article, Bernier discusses First Lieutenant Edythe Pallin who was 23 year old RN. She’d served near the front lines in the Pacific and although she hadn’t been directly on the front lines she saw the same amount of encounters as the nurses on the front lines. This source is a direct link to the experiences that the nurses experience, therefore it will be helpful to use as evidence when discussing the roles of nurses in the website. This could be also be used as a primary source, however, it is not a direct explanation from Pallin herself.
Bellafaire, Judith A. “The Women’s Army Corps: A Commemoration of World War Ll Service .” In The Army Nurse Corps, 32–50. CreateSpace Publishing 2014.
Within this source, the explanation of WAC’s is shown and written by Judith A. Bellafaire. WAC is an acronym that stands for the Women’s Army Corps. This source is a part of a group of 40+ books that explain the impacts of World War II, just like my first source. There are pictures, posters, and quotes from nurses in the WAC that help reiterate the explanation of what the women did and how they did it. This book is much shorter compared to the first book in the group, but it does give an exuberant amount of information that is not in the book titled, The Army Nurse Corps.
U.S. Navy . “McAfee, Mildred (H).” Naval History and Heritage Command n.d. https://www.history.navy.mil/our-collections/photography/us-people/m/mcafee-mildred-h-horton.html.
Mildred Horton McAfee was one of the first woman to serve under the same reserve as the United States Army as a Lieutenant. The source listed above included a short explanation about where she grew up and how she contributed to nursing in World War II, along with her contribution to WAVES and the WAC. This source will help me to explain one of the key players in nursing in World War II as well as a good example of how women were treated in this war seeing as they were not used to being seen in the military; let alone serving in it alongside men.
Vaught , Wilma L. “What a Day It Was!” The Stars and Stripes , January 11945. http://www.legendsofflightnurses.org/Uploads/Newspapers/NewspaperArticles/Stars_and_Stripes_1995.pdf.
As a newspaper article, this source has an immense amount of details from World War II that are directly from people alive at that time. Wilma Vaught is the author of this three pages newspaper that explains the aftermath of the war and how the nurses helped as a whole within it. This source also has pictures from that time, as well as interviews from nurses who served in the war. These nurses share their stories and help to explain what exactly went on during those years. The newspaper article, as my primary source, will be something I will refer back to whenever I bring up the direct impact of nurses because it includes so much information on just that.
