Sehr schöne weibliche Figur einer typischen amerikanischen Krankenschwester (WW-II) aus der Serie Eleonor´s Girls.

 

One of the most prominent roles played by women in time of war is that of the nurse. WWII created an overwhelming need for skilled nursing care. Posters were found everywhere encouraging both education in medical fields and enlistment into the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.

Though nurses had served in the care of injured soldiers throughout history, WWII with its modern weaponry and widespread battlefronts put nurses in mortal danger. To be an Army or Navy Nurse required both skill and courage. This WWII Nurse includes the classic white uniform, cap, and cape that have become synonymous with care and professionalism.

This Tribute to Valor Eleanor’s Girl symbolizes the strength and spirit of this proud profession dedicated to patriotism and humanity.
