He was then sent to Camp Wolters in Mineral Wells, Texas where he completed a thirteen-week infantry basic training.\n During his basic training, he fell ill with pneumonia and was sent home for five weeks. It was at this time in 1943 that he and his wife Doris wed. When he returned to Camp Wolters he was transferred to a replacement depot in McLean, Texas where he found himself as an escort guard at a prisoner of war camp. About a month later he was sent out of Newport News, New Jersey with a detachment aimed for Oran, Algeria to retrieve Italian and German prisoners of war. His detachment constructed a make-shift prisoner of war camp where they kept the Afrika Korps soldiers. While in North Africa Anson had many experiences with Italian and German prisoners of war as well as local Arabs.\n He and his guard company were then transferred to Campe Howze in Gainsville, Texas to guard about 4,000 incarcerated Germans. While there he volunteered to be a company clerk for a company of 250 Germans. Voorhees was later transferred to a prisoner of war camp in Tonkawa, Oklahoma where he was in charge of keeping personal records. After D-Day, he was sent to England and France where he worked at a replacement depot outside of Paris. Later Voorhees was assigned to the Engineering Petroleum Distribution Headquarters and helped oversee the construction of pipelines and the tracking of gasoline. After a knee injury, he was sent back to Jersey City, New Jersey for surgery.

She was the youngest of five children and walked six miles to school every day in the countryside when she was a kid. She graduated high school as valedictorian in 1934 and went to Midland Linotype School in Charles City, Iowa.

Prior to her overseas service, Walsh was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, performing radar communications work for the Norfolk Virginia Air Corps from November 11, 1942, to March 22, 1943.

She served in Oran from September 1943 to July 1944. She first served in the air corps as a Technician 5th Class. Her role in the Women's Army Corps was as an artificer; she had her own workshop and fixed things like water works, irons, broken mirrors, etc. She had four young Algerian boys working in her workshop to keep it clean, and she lived in a tent with three other WACs. From July 1944 to November 1944, Walsh served in Caserta, Italy, as an artificer. She was promoted to Technician 4th class on October 23, 1944.

She earned three major battle stars for her service close to the front lines in three major battle areas of the European Theater, including Rome-Arno, North Apennines, and Rhineland.\n After World War II, Walsh created scrapbooks containing extensive information about her personal WAC experiences; photographs from her time overseas; and newspaper clippings about herself, other WACs, and the war in general. She continued her work as a linotype operator for newspapers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Florida, before developing her own successful business in real estate property management when she settled in Decatur, Georgia.
