3rd Infantry Division Clubmobile

"Like soldiers, Clubmobile women pitched tents and dug latrines in the muddy fields of France, with only a helmet to help them bathe. They built a family on the battlefield, not only formed by their exposure to the violence of war but also a product of their identity as women, specifically Clubmobile women." [5]
