Original era grouping. A nice lot consisting of uniform pieces, insignia, and pages from a photo album; belonging at one time to a young woman, Vera Milum, who served at Fort Oglethorpe Georgia, and Fort Meade Maryland  as an army nurse during WWI.The lot includes a light weight nurse's cap and a white cotton apron (named to her), an assortment of small patriotic pins, and a WWI bronze color Nurse insignia. The album pages contain 92 original black and white photos, many identified, of her friends and patients she attended to.Also included is a nice two page letter written to her by her brother, Vern G. Milum, then serving in France in February 1918. Good detail in the content, evidently he had just arrived as his baggage and bedding had not be delivered to him. Lastly, a society sheet from the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald, dated Sunday, February 15th 1925, with a nice photo of her, and a short bio of her service during WWI.    Nice little archive of the Great War.
