Memories of Irving Berlin
One fact I did not see mentioned in the articles on Irving Berlin after his death Sept. 22 was that he entertained the WACS, Far Eastern Air Force, in Leyte in 1944.
There were 400 of us WACs in the company, and we have each a WAC book of pictures of Irving Berlin entertaining us and soldier friends at a dance in our mess hall. It sure gave all of us a lift in that muddy hole.
