Some beautiful girls went to the war with our boys as more than fantasies and they provided more than a momentary distraction and dreams. They went to the troops near the battlefields wherever they were; many of these boys didn’t have a barracks wall to hang a sexy pin up girl picture on anyway, they were on the move; but some beautiful girls offered real love that the GIs could really wrap their lips around (donuts) and something really hot and sultry they could really put their hands on (coffee), such an wonderful beautiful girl was Janet Dillon Blair, ARC Clubmobiler.
Name: Janet Dillon Blair
Occupation: American Red Cross Clubmobiler (AKA Donut Dolly, Donut Dollies) Years Active: 1943 - 1946 Notable Works: Traveled many miles with allied troops over roads to rough for regular travel across the war torn European Theater of Operations starting Normandy France, served a million cups of coffee with don’t and smiles, also provided music and magazines. Date/Death/Cause: Still alive and kicking; celebrated D-Day re-enactment and 60th anniversary celebration at Normandy in June 2004, some pictures in the gallery below. Short Biography: Women were not allowed in combat during WWII but wherever the “boys” went the ARC Clubmobiler Girls like Janet Dillon Blair were not far behind and they all need to be commended and remembered. Janet was among the elite force of girls that hit the beach at Normandy for D-Day as soon as it was secured and took their GMC clubmobiles and followed our troops across Europe until Germany and Hitler were conquered, Thanks Janet, God Bless You! |
