<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 47490, member: 44&quot;]As to the 1st pic, could that woman be in her own WWI uniform coat? That hat may be a tam?? There were woman in the military in WWI in US and Great Britain as the following posters depict:</p><p><br /></p><p>2nd poster down of a WWI Wave</p><p><a href="http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=4" rel="nofollow">http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note the posters on the following page. The first poster shows a woman with thick gloves that appear as thick as the gloves this woman has on.</p><p><a href="http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.ww1propaganda.com/world-war-1-posters/women-ww1?page=2</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the arm patch, that does look like Navy with a left facing eagle and 2 chevrons. The 2 chevrons probably denotes a petty officer 2nd class something. If there was a bomb under the eagle between the eagle and the chevrons it would be for a Torpedoman 2nd class. As this patch doesn&#039;t appear to have something between the eagle and the chevrons like a bomb, cannons, rifles, harp, wings, propeller, ropes, bugle, etc... it probably wasn&#039;t for a man. It may have been a Wave patch for 2nd class. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, posting pictures straight up would certainly help me in IDing stuff and such. As they are, I have to cock my head this way and that way. I have had to straighten up the above pictures before trying to ID them. Following is the first pic straightened, brighten and zoomed in on.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]11913[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
