Here’s some scoop: According to a book called Doughnut Dollies: American Red Cross Girls during WW11 – American service men in England during World War II called American Red Cross girls ”Doughnut Dollies.” It was a warm and affectionate term designed to show the soldiers’ appreciation for the morale-building efforts of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross girls operated ”clubmobiles” which were driven to air bases where the girls served fresh doughnuts, hot coffee, and broadcast Big Band music over loud-speakers to welcome airmen as they returned from missions overseas.
