BuglerJay Posted February 19, 2018 Share #137 Posted February 19, 2018 I've been trying to paste a photo in here, but can't seem to make it work. Anyway - for any who want more details on the YMCA, I highly recommend two resources: "Service With the Fighting Men" - https://archive.org/details/servicewithfight01taft and "That Damn Y" by Mayo. Service with the Fighting Men is a two-volume set and has a lot of the details of who, how many, etc including citations for the men and women of the Y who were KIA, WIA, etc and decorations including the Croix de Guerre and US Distinguished Service Cross! "That Damn Y" was written by a lady who started her research from an anti-Y position, until she got to France and discovered the truth of the gargantuan effort made by that organization on behalf of the troops. She explains that there sere some "dodos" - as she put it - as well as some incompetent and crooked people, but they were a very small minority. She also showed how things were misinterpreted and gave the Y a bum rap. She quotes a Salvation Army officer who said that "94% of our doughnuts were SOLD to the men, but it's the 6% that we gave away that's always referenced." The Y gave away a lot as well. Both are good reads. Does anyone have photos of YMCA female volunteers in uniforms made from OD or Khaki material rather than the usual blue-gray? I've been trying to post one that I believe does, but can't make it work. Any help is appreciated. I've been loving this thread and learned a lot from it. I also much appreciate the photos and have "borrowed" liberally. I'm glad of the watermarks some of you include so I can know whom to credit if I use them in shared material with a group that is putting together a reenactment group portraying the Y in Europe for commemorative activities. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites

abqpropguy Posted March 25, 2018 Share #139 Posted March 25, 2018 This is my first women’s auxiliary photo.....any ideas or thoughts on what service they are in? Both ladies have metal Infantry insignia on their hats. The one lady on the right has an Engineer patch on her sleeve. They sure have a lot of buttons everywhere! I will post a better photo when I receive it! Link to post Share on other sites

world war I nerd Posted June 26, 2018 Share #147 Posted June 26, 2018 Now that's something you don't see everyday! Great photo John, & where do you find these things. Is the logo on the motorcycle's gas tank that of the Excelsior Motorcycle Company? They were the third largest motorcycle supplier (right behind Harley Davidson & Indian) to the U.S. Army during the Great War. Link to post Share on other sites

Here's one that just arrived in the mail: I have to resurrect this old photo, although it was posted over four years ago. About a year ago I got a WWI YMCA uniform that belonged to Carrie Buhrman who is local where I live in Virginia. Carrie is in the above picture, big smile, no hat middle row, first on right without hat and below on right standing with hat. If you have this original photo I would love to get a copy to add to her collection. Link to post Share on other sites
