HISTORY: The War Area Service Corps (WASC) was a branch of the Chinese National Military to maintain facilities for the care of Allied Forces detailed to China while fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with them. On August 8, 1937, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek ordered the formation of the War Area Service corps and appointed Major General J. L. Huang as the Director-General to render services to the Chinese officers at the fighting fronts. When American volunteers began to help China in the... war against Japan, orders were given to the organization to establish a number of hostels for their convenience. Seven months later, the war developed into World War II. Since then, the principal function of the WASC is to provide and maintain facilities for our Allied Forces in China.
