The following Iowa WACs have an army postoffice address, indicating overseas service, but their exact station is not known:
Pvt. Lena M. Shafar, Waukee, enlisted last May. She is a commercial college graduate and was employed by Sears, Roebuck Co.
Secrecy covering overseas shipment makes it impossible to determine if additional Iowans have gone on foreign duty since early fall.
