Description

Regiments from Chester County fought bravely in all theaters of World War II, even as locals at home took abnormal measures to beef up the Allies. West Chester resident G. Raymond Rettew developed a process to mass produce vitally needed penicillin even as a calm farm transformed into the bustling Valley Forge General Hospital in 1943. Women entered labor positions at companies, including Lukens Steel, to fulfill production demands. The Coatesville YMCA created and distributed a newsletter to soldiers so the men at the front had the scoop from back home. Writer Marion Piccolomini celebrates the resilience and perseverance of Chester County residents in the course of total war.
