Grant S. Posted January 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2014 Amazing the things that turn up. These two small straps appear to be for the Marine WR summer seersucker uniform, or at least somehow related to it, but I cannot see them in use in any picture or reference work that I have available. My best guess is a waist gusset, but who knows? Unfortunately I don't have access to the uniform closet or I'd go down there and look. Our curator just quit . Can anyone identify these?

mvmhm Posted January 16, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2014 Are they red on the bottom?? They look like Cadet Nurse shoulder straps to me....here's a link to another posting about them: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/14357-cadet-nurse-summer-uniform-sans-hat/?hl=%2Bcadet+%2Bnurse Mark sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvmhm Posted January 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2014 Looking closer, it looks like there's a hole at the mid-way point where the single maltese cross would have been pinned on the red side. Mark sends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant S. Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 16, 2014 They are red, and I'm sure you are correct. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidres Posted January 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2014 These are the epaulets for the summer cadet nurse searsucker. They were attached by the silver nurse cadet buttons, and had the small maltese cross pinned on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
