A book one of the Doctors wrote and a government book on " Nurses In Action ".

 

In the book by the doctor it mentions the night Ruth Sobeck got hit when a rogue German bombed the hospital ship.

 

She is a friend of Mrs S.

 

Almost forgot there is a xerox copy of the Surgical Team Leader's war time diary.

Toward the end of the war Mrs S's unit was involved with helping inmates at Dachau.

 

I have a xerox copy of a letter she wrote to her mother in which she goes into detail about her first visit there.

 

Here are some photos with captions on the back

Here is the dog she brought home.

 

These were being made at the camp by the SS using slave labor. Allach Porcelain.

 

Despite the free labor they couldn't make a profit.

 

The Polaroid was the picture she used to entice me into wanting the dog.

 

She no longer had the dog but managed to get it back.

Sweet grouping! Interesting that she has a ruptured duck yet she was an officer.

 

 

I never noticed that T

 

Glad you like it.

Now that's a complete grouping! The personal connection you've had with these incredible groupings is fantastic. And becoming rare in this hobby I think.

Thanks S

 

This was one of those rare instances when you click with somebody and over time you have a deeper appreciation for their life.

 

It also gave me a chance to be more thorough and get provenance to pull it all together..

 

Many times I'm in and I'm out because nobody wants to talk.

 

That wasn't the case here.

Not sure under what circumstances this would have been worn.

 

Still has belt.

This is basically an off duty dress.The belt is the same material and secured by a single brass button.There was an earlier version made in blue and also a version made in beige.

 

Is that a small canvas holster in the photos??

 

Outstanding group.

Ms Sobeck received the Purple Heart after a German bomber hit their hospital ship.

 

Several women and crew were killed.
