Details
This is a wonderful WW2 momento, an original 1940s cloak/cape that belonged to an Army nurse who worked on the frontlines! The neck is embroidered with her school, Charity Hospital School of Nursing, and the inner tag has her name. This came directly from Lt Kirchheiner's estate, and included is an original picture of nurses at Charity Hospital around the time she was there. This is in good condition with the exception of a faint spot on the lining and a couple small moth holes that I've pointed out in pictures.
Model is a modern size small and this fits well; please see measurements below to ensure it'll fit you before purchasing. Do keep in mind you'll need to have a petite neck to wear this, as it was snug on me.
Measurements, laid flat:
Length- 40"
Shoulder measurement- about 18"
Neck- 7"
Thanks for looking!
