Many of these Women Auxiliary service (WAS) were local educated women who had previous medical training. They mainly gave medical first aid to the guerillas and US forces. They also taught them 1st responder medical skills so they can help their fellow soldiers/guerillas. Many WAS became part of the US led infantries serving as mobile triage units. My grandmother is one of the few who serve as WAS and in the infantry. But with no documentation and hard proof, she has yet to be compensated nor recognized as a war veteran. Thanks to their effort and determination, many soldiers, US Army and local guerillas, were given the proper medical attention that probably saved many lives.
