USMC-RECON0321 Posted October 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2020 Found this small ANC grouping about a mile from my house at an estate sale. I haven’t done any real research yet. I had the uniform professionally dry cleaned and as you can see from the first picture when I brought it home to the close up further down how nice it cleaned up.

I spent a good deal of time reading her letter and trying to figure out if she's one of the nurses in the group photo. My guess is that she's front row, fifth from left. That's the look of a woman who would close a letter "All my love always" Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing! Thank you. It was a nice surprise and to find it so close to home. Nothing was mentioned in the sale ad about military, so probably wouldn't have made the effort to drive any distance to it, except it just happened to be down the road.

I would like to figure that out also, but the company holding the sale didn't know and no family member was present at the sale to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted October 5, 2020 Share #7 Posted October 5, 2020 Very nice grouping. The uniform cleaned up very nicely. I like anything to do with the nurse corps. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMC-RECON0321 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted October 6, 2020 Thanks Kat. I wish more was inside, or maybe there was and it was taken out by family members before the sale? No telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking the photo over again and there is another younger lady that's 6th in from the right side in the front row. But not really clear if she is in a uniform or not?
