- Description:
- Patricia Young Berri talks about her service in the American Red Cross during World War Two from February 1944 to March 1945. Berri says she was working as a secretary for Shell Oil in Houston and doing USO work when she volunteered and was first assigned to the 117th Station Hospital in Leyte in the Philippines to coordinate patient recreation. She was next sent to a Naval base on Palawan and later Samar to await transport back to the United States. Berri talks about the ARC uniforms, the train ride to San Francisco and landing in Leyte and says that she didn't mind the cold showers or the tent life there, but had a difficult time adjusting to the Filipino unisex latrines. Berri is interviewed by Marjorie Brown.
