Default Six Triple Eight

An interesting article on the BBC website today "Six Triple Eight: The battalion of black women erased from history".

It is about the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion :

Quote:
The Battalion lived and worked in wooden buildings, the former home of the King Edward VI Schools in Edgbaston.

Here is a link to a Wiki page for those who can't access the BBC.

Good article and happy to see them get the recognition they deserve. The Tuskegee Airmen often flew for my father on missions during the war.
