    Couple of items today at an antique shop. WWII era 1944 water resistant sleeping bag cover. Tag is present but can't be read. Later ones had large tags fully sewn to the edge, this has the cloth tags more standard with WWII sewn just on one end. The second is a 1957 dated duffle bag. Came with the sleeping bag cover so not something I would normally buy. Looking at it at home I see it was issued to a woman which I thought unusual for 1957. Found her immediately. She passed away three years ago, served 1957-1961 and then lived the rest of her life married in her hometown. She was not a nurse.

    I'll post some photos tomorrow; lighting was already bad when I got home.















    There is writing on the tag, I just can't read it. doesn't show in the photo at all.
