http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv29766

Ranging in date from 1942 to 1946, the Margaret McLeod Papers consist of .5 cubic feet of correspondence, brochures, photographs, certificates, reports, newspaper clippings, and ephemera created and collected by McLeod during her service with the American National Red Cross. During World War II, McLeod worked in the European Theater with the group's Club Service, a program that provided soldiers with food, recreation, and entertainment. McLeod's collection provides a vivid portrait of life for Club Service workers, documenting not only the achievements of the Red Cross's Clubmobiles and clubs in England, France and Germany, but also the personal frustrations and triumphs of the women who ran them.
