This photo album was compiled by Antoinette Libonati, documenting her service in the 1st Company, 20th Regiment of the Women's Army Corps. Specifically, the album records her time training at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia and Mission, Texas. The album contains 45 leaves with 329 black and white photographs, together with 12 ephemeral items, and 45 commercial images. The first section, titled "Basic Trng—Ft. Oglethorpe Ga June 7-July 28, 1944," contains 45 commercial photographs of WAC life at the camp. The next section, titled "Co. 1—20th Regt. In Review," contains 90 photographs of women in the company. Another section, titled "Chattanooga, the nearest town to Oglethorpe," contains photographs of that city as well as printed color drawings of Lookout Mountain. The last section, taking up the majority of the album, is titled "Life at Moore Field," and covers Libonati's time at the base in Mission, Texas, to which the regiment was relocated on July 30, 1944. This section contains both candid and posed shots of the women in uniform, in review, at work, at play, and at rest. WACs are shown at drafting tables, working with lab equipment, cooking, filing, working in the mail room, in the commissary, as nurses, and as officers behind desks. Other photos depict WACs during leisure time in the barracks. [Adapted from description provided by Caroliniana Rare Books]
