Three Keesler Field nurses, (left to right) 2nd Lts. Lavenell Hibbing, Josephine I. Malito and Ora L. Appelby, are shown in the new official streamlined uniform for Army nurses.
The new, one-piece uniform gives the nurses more of an "officer appearance." It has a shorter and narrower lapel, the gold bars are worn on the shoulder instead of the lapel, a U. S. is worn on either collar and the insignia of the Nurse Corps, an "N" superimposed on a Caduceus, is worn on both lapels.
