28 September 1940 was a Saturday ...

ɹǝqɯoɔɥɔɐǝq You can't possibly be telling us 28 September 1940, without a day of the week. Shocking dereliction of duty!

Aha!

"Born in Esker, Killoe, Co Longford, Frank Gormley and his brother Michael were part of the Killoe Company (B Company) of the 1st Battalion, Longford Brigade and the North Longford Flying Column during the War of Independence. Frank moved from Adjutant to the leading role of Captain and Commander within B Company when Michael Reynolds replaced Seán Mac Eoin at the head of the Longford Brigade following the Blacksmith's imprisonment in 1921. He also held the role of a secretary to the Dáil Éireann courts. Gormley opposed the Treaty and later won a Dáil Éireann seat for Fianna Fáil in Longford-Westmeath as part of their first government in 1932. He also held the post of captain in the Irish Army, and served until his retirement after World War 2. He married Bridget Doherty in 1940. His brother Michael had served in the First World War and would later hold office as a member of Longford County Council. He died on December 2oth 1974 and is buried in Aughaboy Cemetry in his native Killoe."

beachcomber australia Brilliant. Hello Bridget!

Love these selections for Women's History Month!!

This looks like the Abbie P. Morrison pictured in a 1918 newpaper appearing in a Junior League play benefiting war relief. There are later mentions of her as a professional singer.

Her name was later more frequently spelled Abby. This also appears to be her, Abby Putnam Morrison, pictured as the first woman to enlist in the navy as an electrician in 1917.

Apparently she was a radio operator and in 1919 helped found the Women's Radio League in New York.

She married William Wood Ricker in 1925

The last mention I found of her was in 1964. An article recounts her life history in connection with a travel talk she was giving in Peekskill, NY.

One of 6 (so far posted) Bain photos of the Emergency Service Corps, which ran a 3 week training camp for 30 society girls in Pompton Lake, NJ, in June, 1916. It was a women's military training organization, meant to rival a similar "preparedness" camp for men in Plattsburgh, NY. (See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_Military_Training_Camp).
It was held on the estate of Edward Ringwood Hewitt, and run by his daughter, Candace Hewitt.
See notes under

Thanks artolog, we will include some of the information you have uncovered on the records related to this training camp.

I thought I'd seen all of these but you guys keep digging them up. Are there more? She was my great grandmother and I'm always in search of new photos.
