Additional Information This group of 24 pioneering African American nurses arrived in the European theater of World War II in 1944 to provide aid & care to wounded soldiers as the war neared its conclusion in 1945. World War II remains the deadliest conflict in human history & has been studied for decades as it represented significant advances in aviation & military technology as well as diplomatic ties that shaped geopolitical boundaries & international relations to this day. Among this group was Mary L. Petty, a nurse from Seattle, Washington, who reached the rank of Captain in the US Army Nurse Corps, the first African American woman to do so. On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Normandy occurred, which brought together land, air, & sea forces in the most significant invasion force in history. This event marked a seismic turn in the conflict & remains one of the most iconic events of World War II. The US Army Nurse Corps became an essential part of the war effort & implemented modern techniques in medical care, psychology, & psychiatry to help troops that had endured some of the worst battles of the war. This vintage photograph transports the viewer back in time.
