Overlooked (Six Triple Eight) WWII Veterans: Hispanic/Latina Women of The (Six Triple Eight) Postal Battalion.

The 6888th was the first and only unit of color in the WAC to be stationed in Europe. The unit was made up of Black, Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Mexican women.

During WWII, Hispanic/Latina women served in all branches of the military as linguists, nurses, and in the Red Cross as aides and Donut Dollies. These women broke through both gender and cultural barriers to serve their country. In November 1944, The Afro-American Newspaper reported that 100 Puerto Ricans of the Women’s Army Corps trained at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia for (WAC) training. Fort Oglethorpe was also the overseas training location for a group of WACs later known as the as the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (Six Triple Eight).
