48MMS Posted April 25, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2014 Found this patch on ebay, and although out of my budget ($100 + postage), it was interesting. Here is a little I found online: Women Marines Detachment-2, MCAS, Cherry Point, 1951 After an absence of four years, the first Lady Leatherneck, Captain Helen A. Wilson, USMCR, reported aboard MCAS, Cherry Point and marked the first time Women Marines had served there since the last of the wartime Women Reserves left in September, 1946....the Women Marines at Cherry Point were engaged in varied roles ranging from teletype operators to weather observers and control tower assistants...Effective 1 March, 1951, the Lady Leathernecks of Cherry Point organized their own detachment, Women Marines Detachment-2, under the command of Captain Wilson. The detachment was attached to MCAS, Cherry Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
