Veteran's biography
Lillian
Mary
Pimlott
of
Trenton
,
New
Jersey
,
served
in the
WAVES
(Women
Accepted
for
Volunteer
Emergency
Service)
during
World
War
II
.
Lillian
Mary
Pimlott
, the
daughter
of
Mr
. and
Mrs
.
Thomas
Pimlott
,
Sr.
, was
born
in
Trenton
,
N.J
. She
graduated
from
Immaculate
Conception
High
School
and
attended
New
Jersey
State
Teachers
'
College
and the
University
of
Pennsylvania
. She was a
teacher
before
joining
the
WAVES
in
March
1943
.
In the
fall
of
1943
,
Pimlott
worked
in a
recruiting
office
in
Chicago
.
One
year
later
, in
October
1944
, she was
transferred
to
Washington
,
D.C.
,
where
she
served
as an
administrative
assistant
with a
committee
for the
standardization
of
naval
terminology
.
Pimlott
received
orders
in
April
1945
to
go
to
Pearl
Harbor
, but she
trained
enlisted
WAVES
in
Shoemaker
,
Calif.
,
before
sailing
to
Hawaii
.
Once
in
Hawaii
,
Pimlott
worked
in the
District
Personnel
Office
classifying
men
and
women
and
aiding
them in
job
placement
. She
remained
in that
position
until
August
1946
.
In
August
1946
,
Pimlott
was
sent
to
Lakehurst
,
N.J.
,
where
she was
stationed
at the
U.S
.
Naval
Air
Station
. She
volunteered
to
stay
with the
U.S
.
Naval
Reserve
until
July
1947
, but
remained
at the
base
in
Lakehurst
at
least
through
the
end
of that
year
.
It
appears
that
Pimlott
either
stayed
in the
service
or
left
after
1947
and then
returned
in the
early
1950s
. A
collection
of
recruiting
pamphlets
and
handbooks
from the
1960s
and
early
1970s
indicates
that she
may
have
worked
as a
recruiter
or as an
instructor
in
naval
schools
. In
1964
,
when
stationed
at the
naval
base
in
Newport
,
R.I.
,
Pimlott
was
appointed
commander
. Her
date
of
retirement
from the
navy
is
unknown
.
In the
mid-1950s
,
Lillian
Pimlott
married
Al
Newbanks
.
