seanmc1114 Posted October 2, 2012 Share #54 Posted October 2, 2012 Mrs S spent 2 1/2 years overseas starting in Italy and ending in Germany. You can see the overseas bars on this, my favorite, uniform. British made battle Jacket. Would that be considered an Ike skirt to go with the Ike jacket?

manayunkman Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share #55 Posted October 2, 2012 The skirt has the same buttons as the British made battle jacket. No tag in it but I'm thinking it is British made. Here is a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memphis_belle Posted February 23, 2013 Share #57 Posted February 23, 2013 Wow, I'm so lucky to find this topic! I've been looking for information on Ruth C. Sobeck for some time because I have some of her uniforms. And here it is + a picture! Please, if you have any more photos of Ruth Sobeck or any relevant information, could you post it here or PM me? I would love to make a little display about her. I have her blue off-duty dress and a matching blue garisson cap, beige garrison cap and OD cape - all named with the same looking name tag as the one in the Ike jacket that you posted! I attach a photo of the blue garrison cap. The quality is bad but I'll try to take more better pictures once I'm home for the Easter break.

memphis_belle Posted February 23, 2013 Share #58 Posted February 23, 2013 I'm probably not the best model but I just want to show you Ruth Sobeck's blue off duty dress. It's in perfect condition, although the belt is missing. I think it's the rarest piece in my ANC collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge8 Posted August 16, 2013 Share #61 Posted August 16, 2013 Glad I was able to find this post. Just purchased Ruth Sobeck's searsucker shirt to wear with searsucker slacks. Would like to hear from anyone who now has her uniforms for information on her life, unit, when died (if has died). Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge8 Posted August 16, 2013 Share #62 Posted August 16, 2013 Found Ruth Sobeck's obituary. She died 28 July 2003 and is buried at Fort Indiantown Gap National Cem. She was 1LT when discharged in Feb 1946. Married George Smith in 1954 (he died in 1957). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssines Posted February 18, 2018 Share #65 Posted February 18, 2018 This is a great grouping! The different groupings of uniforms are amazing! The one lightweight dress you were unsure of is an off duty dress. They were required to be in uniform at all times and this uniform was adopted for this purpose. There were 2 other colors created for this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share #67 Posted March 14, 2019 Ms. Sobeck lived accross the street from Bishop Mcdevitt HS in Harrisburg. She had a display case with about 20 pieces of Allach porcelain in it all from Dachau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRylander Posted January 30, 2021 Share #68 Posted January 30, 2021 Hello, This is Ruth Sobeck's great niece. She actually only had one piece of porcelain from Dachau and that was a little lamb given to her from her friend Helen Simmons. I think I have a picture of the cabinet somewhere. I will look so we can double check. Kristen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1991 Posted January 31, 2021 Share #69 Posted January 31, 2021 Amazing grouping! Did the group ever sell as I read it was for sale. Who ever is the new owner sure is lucky! This is definitely one of the nicest groups I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share #70 Posted January 31, 2021 Just saw this now. Kristen it’s great to hear from you. I spent some time with your aunt back in the 90s and 2000s. I only went to the house once and remember the closet being full figures but I’m sure you are correct. Somewhere I got the idea that she was at Dachau too. As far as I know Mrs Simmons group is still together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing them when I was around 10 years old and I never forgot them. It is a little blurry to me how often she and Ruth were at the same places, but I don't recall Aunt Ruth telling any stories about Dachau. Helen was an amazing woman and I am so glad you treasure her memories! I do have some reunion pictures from Aunt Ruth when she hosted some of her friends at her house. I don't know if that is anything folks would be interested in , but I can look for that box of pictures. I don't think anyone is labeled on them, though.
