Scarecrow Posted May 1, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2016 Was very fortunate today at our monthly ASMIC swap meet. It was a good day for finding some very nice Women's Services items. Was able to purchase 3 different examples : Army Nurse Corp, WAC Air Corps Officer and a Wave Service Dress with Garrison cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share #9 Posted May 4, 2016 Those are some nice finds! Are any of them researchable (named)? Only the WAVE Service Dress and cap are named. All are currently at the dry cleaners, so I don't have her name at the moment. Thanks to all that replied, your kind words are appreciated.

RustyCanteen Posted May 4, 2016 Share #10 Posted May 4, 2016 That is great! Hopefully you can find some history to compliment a nice looking uniform. RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted May 4, 2016 That is great! Hopefully you can find some history to compliment a nice looking uniform. RC The WAVE cap and jacket are named to B.C. Wheeler. Unfortunately no other information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted May 4, 2016 Share #12 Posted May 4, 2016 The WAVE cap and jacket are named to B.C. Wheeler. Unfortunately no other information. Are you positive the 'C' isn't a 'G'? I only ask because there was a WAVE with those initials (Barbara Gail W.) I have found so far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted May 4, 2016 Are you positive the 'C' isn't a 'G'? I only ask because there was a WAVE with those initials (Barbara Gail W.) I have found so far.. You are correct! With another look see and with a loop it is definitely a "G". So the name is B G Wheeler. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCanteen Posted May 4, 2016 Share #14 Posted May 4, 2016 The only problem with ID, is that the WWII Memorial database says Barbara G. W. was a Pharmacist's Mate. She could have changed ratings later though I guess. http://www.wwiimemorial.com/Registry/plaque.aspx?honoreeID=1564748 http://www.wwiimemorial.com/Registry/plaque.aspx?honoreeID=1558053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
