gwb123 Posted March 15, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 15, 2013 Does everyone realize that things posted under Latest Finds only stay on the Forum for 30 days, and then they are deleted? I've moved this to Women's Services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

empireguns Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted March 16, 2013 I am trying to sift through a huge pile of photos that are like 40-50 photo albums all dumped together. I believe she was a driver as i go through I might find some more on her. Antique shops are the worst when they make bins up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted March 17, 2013 Share #12 Posted March 17, 2013 On this one here it appears she is wearing the post 1946 Reg quadruple Discs, ( Collar&Lapels) if this is so what I,m seeing is what looks to be Medical Corps, it looks like it on the right hand disc, a Caduesus?

Cobrahistorian Posted March 19, 2013 Share #19 Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like a custom tailored Ike with a PofE SSI, GCM/ATO/WAC ribbon bar. The lower left sleeve looks like another custom tailored piece kinda like Marine Vandegrift jackets.Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted March 19, 2013 Share #20 Posted March 19, 2013 I agree a longer jacket cut down and when tailored the wide waist belt was added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted March 20, 2013 Share #21 Posted March 20, 2013 Here's a thought... I am wondering if the woman in the first photo is the same as the one's in the later photos? Sister? Cousin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
