These are, in fact, personnel of the US Women's Army Corps at Marks Hall, Essex, known to the US Army Air Force as Station 160.
The 'WACs' arrived there in July 1943 when it was the headquarters of the US Eighth Air Force's 3rd Bomb Wing. In November, Marks Hall was redesignated HQ IX Bomber Command of the US Ninth Air Force.
