Scarecrow Posted May 1, 2016 Share 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. Always looking for 4th Fighter Group and 490th Bomb Group items.

RustyCanteen Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Those are some nice finds! Are any of them researchable (named)? "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

Scarecrow Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share 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 Posted May 4, 2016 That is great! Hopefully you can find some history to compliment a nice looking uniform.

Wheeler. Unfortunately no other information. Always looking for 4th Fighter Group and 490th Bomb Group items. Link to post Share on other sites
RustyCanteen Posted May 4, 2016 Share 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.. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

You are correct! With another look see and with a loop it is definitely a "G". So the name is B G Wheeler. Thanks! Always looking for 4th Fighter Group and 490th Bomb Group items.

RustyCanteen Posted May 4, 2016 Share 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 "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.
