U.S. and army nurse caduceus pins on the collar. 2nd lieutenant rank bars on the epaulets. European Theater of Operations patch. 4 overseas bars, indicting 24 months overseas. Meritorious Unit Award patch. Some smudges on the skirt. Side metal zipper. The blouse has the slot in the pocket for a pen. 

The jacket and skirt do not have labels. The blouse has a 32R size tag. The tie has nice labels. Also included is a red cross armband (safety pins still on the ends) with her name on it. The armband has a hole and some light staining. Grouping also included her 1935 class ring. She must have really liked the ring; it is tarnished and very well worn. The inside is marked 10K and Sterling and a maker's mark as well as engraved with her initials ACL. The ring is very small. There are also several extra loose patches: European Theater of Operations, 4 Meritorious Unit Award patches, honorable discharge ("ruptured duck"), and extra overseas bars.
