Couldn't help but notice the swastika design on the floor, which was obviously placed there years before Adolph & der boys became known to the world let alone took over Germany etc. I suspect that the floor in question was re-done following Germany's declaration of war against the USA in December 1941.
Trench coat!Coat, actually. Jackets stop at the waist.
Great picture.
I just noticed that the delightful Miss Larneal appears to be wearing an early wrist watch, in the form of a pocket watch housed in a leather strap made especially to nestle a pocket watch. These set-ups were usually worn by men who had need of the ability to tell the time while both hands were engaged such as aviators & artillery officers. The pocket watches would be of the open face configuration with the winding crown at 12 o'clock & indeed what looks like the crown is jutting out on Miss Larneal's wrist. She apparently served as a nurse in the US Navy including for the duration of America's involvement in World War I. Of course the petite women's wrist watches then available would be difficult to read let alone to use to measure pulses & breathing rates, thus it makes eminent sense that nurses would have preferred using the much larger & more legible men's pocket watches on their wrists, also thereby facilitating the use of both hands while being able to read the dial.
