Campbell from the Bureau of Aeronautics stating Bettye's title as a "Clerk-Typist." The award was offered to Bettye Campbell and her colleague Jean Knapik for their diligent procurement of difficult to find materials in a short period of time with no supervision and their cheerful demeanors. It states ".the achievement of these employees has saved this division and the government the salary of two GS-4 employees for approximately 7.5 months." The recognition was made by Mr. J.R. Townsend Special Assistant to the Director of Defense Research and Engineering and were awarded a total of $135; 3 Broadside award "Department of the Navy / Bureau of Naval Weapons / Certificate of Commendation" for the period 1 April 1959-3 November 1959 to Bettye D.

Fessen Rear Admiral of the U.S. Navy 11 May 1978 after her transfer to AIR-500C. The letter commends Bettye for her professionalism and dedication in the face of unknown projects referring to the NAVAIR-wide participation in Exploratory Development programs in which Bettye was appointed as the recorder for the Board due to recommendations from her superiors. Bettye Delores Campbell Ray was born in Wilmington North Carolina but spent most of her life residing in Washington D.C. Her career with the Department of the Navy appears to have started as a young woman in her twenties and lasted more than twenty-years. Mid-twentieth century military commendations for women are scarcely on the market particularly for an African American woman. Minor sunning to edges two documents from 1959 have staple holes at the top left overall very good condition. This collection documents the achievements of one African American woman in the navy proving herself to be worthy of recognition and success. unknown

Women Military WWII
Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in WWII Recruitment Poster -1943
WWII military recruitment poster for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. 1943. A large poster that documents women who served uniformed auxiliaries roles in the U.S. armed forces. Printed by the Recruiting Publicity Bureau United States Army. 39 x 25.5 inches. "Speed them Back / Join the WAAC". Commanding photo-illustrated image of a woman in military dress who stands confidently and holds a whistle to her mouth. Dozens of marching infantry soldiers are printed behind her. "Women's Army Auxiliary Corps / U.S. Army / Apply at any U.S. Army recruiting and induction station." Spurred on by the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 1941 Congress approved the creation of WAAC on May 14 1942 to enhance the US military force and staff non-combat roles with women workers to create a larger male fighting force; they realized that women could supply additional resources desperately needed in both military and industrial sectors. Members of the WAAC were the first women other than nurses to serve within the ranks of the United States Army and over 150000 American women served in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. Given the opportunity to make a major contribution to the national war effort women seized it. They drove trucks repaired airplanes worked as laboratory technicians rigged parachutes served as radio operators analyzed photographs and more. By the end of the war their contributions would be widely heralded and even General Eisenhower felt that he could not win the war without the aid of the women in uniform. "The contribution of the women of America whether on the farm or in the factory or in uniform to D-Day was a sine qua non of the invasion effort." Ambrose D-Day 489. Repaired vertical tear down center. 3 horizontal crease marks. 1 x ½" loss to bottom left corner. ½" closed tear in bottom right edge. In good condition. unknown books

Women Nursing Spanish American War Congregation of American Sisters
Photographic and Manuscript Archive of a Nurse in the Spanish-American War Containing Over Ninety Photographs of Military Scenes in Cuba and Florida Surrounding the Conflict c. 1899
Most Cuba or Jacksonville 1900. Silver gelatin or albumen photographs various sizes ranging from 3 x 3 to 6 x 8 most captioned to verso. With handwritten manuscript four leaves discussing various diseases. The Spanish-American War was the first war in which nurses formed their own dedicated units as well as the first war in which they were accepted within military hospitals. While no nurses died in battle 153 died during the war from disease. Nurses were responsible for both treating soldiers as well as maintaining sanitary conditions within the camps. Conditions were often poor leading some to work until they were too sick to continue. <br /><br /> The current collection of photographs documents the experiences of a Mrs. Waters who was originally from Groton Massachusetts. The collection begins with a couple early photographs including a portrait as a young woman and a cyanotype of one of Waters' leprosy patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The next section shows Waters' training in Jacksonville Florida with either the Fourth or Seventh Army Corps at what was called Camp Cuba Libre both Corps trained there in 1898. The photographs of Jacksonville show life around the military camp and environs with some notable photographs of African-American inhabitants of the region. Three photographs quite notably show the Congregation of American Sisters a small group of American Indian nuns led by Reverend Francis Craft. The photographs taken in Cuba are notable for their portrayal of local life. Several photographs of military installations are taken around the "trocha" or line established by General Valeriana Weyler from Mariel to Majana. Another notable photograph is a cabinet card of a large group of nurses taken by the Havana photographer R. Testar. <br /><br /> The group overall shows very early photographic records of military nurses in training as well as a scarce photographic record from a woman in a combat situation. The photographs are generally well preserved in very good to excellent condition with some light fading. Accompanying the photographs is a four page manuscript essay presumably by Waters discussing leprosy as well as the booklet Spanish Phrase Book for American Soldiers and Sailors published by the National Relief Commission of Philadelphia. <br /><br /> Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver Gallery. books
