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 Link to post Share on other sites
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
