Cavalcade of America turns the spotlight on an aspect of American life in the summer of 1944. At present our concern is with the home front, which is marching in spirit beside the men who fight. This great army composed of wives; mothers and sweethearts of America’s men might well be called an army of occupation because they are truly occupied with waiting, working and praying for their sons and husbands. It is these women Cavalcade salutes in the radio adaptation by Edith Somer of the just published book by Margaret Shay, The Gals They Left Behind, the authentic experiences of two soldiers wives.
