Mildred C. Scott (1918-2006) of Liberty, North Carolina, served as an MP in the Women's Army Corps from February 1943 until February 1946 .
Mildred Curtis Scott, born 22 August 1918, grew up on a farm in Liberty, North Carolina, and graduated from Liberty High School in 1935. She worked on her family farm until 1937, when she took a job at Gregson Chair Factory. In 1940, Scott went to work on a knitting machine at Liberty Hosiery Factory .
In February 1943, Scott enlisted in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. She completed basic training in Daytona Beach, Florida, and then was assigned to the Military Police (MP). She remained in Daytona until February 1944, when she was transferred to Boston. In April 1945, Scott went to the counterintelligence office at a port of embarkation in Seattle, Washington. She was discharged as a T/5 sergeant in February 1946 .
