Michael Nicolaou Posted December 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2017 Does anyone know what this cap is? Described as Nurse but is it? Found it searching on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/152841337259 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted December 30, 2017 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2017 I've seen Red Cross uniforms this color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D. Posted December 30, 2017 Share #3 Posted December 30, 2017 It's not a WWII US Army regulation item. (If it's being sold as a WWII US Army item, I'd say someone doctored up a story!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Nicolaou Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted December 30, 2017 WWI or maybe British? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnntheGreat Posted December 30, 2017 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2017 Hi, It looks like an ATS cap to me. That's the womens arm of the British army, mostly served on the home front. The same caps were worn by F.A.N.Y. and Mechanized Transport. Think Samantha in Foyle's war - the actress played by Honeysuckle Weeks, who was his driver. Here you go. Not Red Cross not Nurse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_Territorial_Service By the way, I've got almost the whole kit as I am a patternmaker and want to copy it. I have the two hats, cap and garrison, shirt, tie, tunic, skirt, and slacks. I'll post a photo one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
