Army nurses uniforms from World War II
Description
This is a page from the October 1943 issue of an Army Quartermaster Catalog, representing different types of uniforms available for nurses. One common material here is wool, which would be absolutely miserable in warm climates like Africa and islands in the Pacific, showing how impractical some of these uniforms were, which is why many nurses dressed in similar gear to the men they were serving.
