I learn so much from your post thank you ☺️ My parents worked at the Benicia armory in Benicia Ca. My dad Author Sutterfield worked on on dock as a Forman loading the ships with ammunition. My mom Helen packed ammunition to be loaded on the ships. I have pictures of the workers !!
How wonderful! I’m so glad you have those pictures!
