Original U.S. WWII Marine Corps USMC Named Women's Overseas Cap - Corporal Nathalie Klingbeil

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. Women also served in the US Marine Corps during WW2, as mechanics, clerical staff, and in other capacities to free men for combat. They were universally respected by their male counterparts, and were issued winter forest green wool visor caps specifically designed to compliment a woman's coiffure.

This is a lovely green Female Marine overseas cap worn by Corporal Nathalie Klingbeil, who enlisted in the Marine Corps on October 1st, 1943. She served with the Eastern Procurement Division in Philadelphia before traveling to California to become part of Aviation Women's Reserve Squadron-9, the unit she stayed with until the end of the war.

The cap is in good shape with white piping and an EGA Cap device on the side. Her name is stamped on the interior. This is a great cap, ready for further research and display.
