The members of the Women's Troop Train Service Committee provided refreshments to the returning soldiers. The committee operated out of the Railroad Y.M.C.A. at Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri during WWI. The committee members met locomotives in the train yards and brought soldiers to the Y.M.C.A.'s Happiness Hut where they received snacks, reading materials and a friendly smile. |
