1st Sgt CES Posted November 11, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2015 Hello Everyone---I got this the other day. A ID bracelet for Anna P. Gaine --- No 8 --- USA Base Hosp. No 5----Any help would be great on this. Was she a nurse --where was U.S A.Base Hospital Number 5 and what does the No 8 mean in the middle ?. Thanks Mark In Memory of Air Corps Technical Sergeant Carl F. Durfee. He died of wounds on 30 December 1944 while serving in the South Pacific.

Too Much WW1 Militaria Posted November 11, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 11, 2015 100% WW1, most likely a nurse. The hospital was in the Pas de Calais/Flanders area. Not sure on the number 8. John Link to post Share on other sites
AustinO Posted November 11, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2015 From the Hospital's history, she is listed as a Nurse: ANNA P. CAINE ("Cainie") Box 777, Tenafly, N J. Cainie has a decided personality. You must either like her or dislike her---you cannot ignore her. Diminutive in stature she is the genuine unlacquered article, guaranteed to wear well. She is capable, generous and candid to a fault. Suffice it to say that no obstacle is to her unsurmountable. She gets what she goes after. Link to post Share on other sites
