Title

Madeline Moysey's Red Cross nurses uniform

Description

Madeline Moysey, (class of 1911) wore this uniform while serving with the Johns Hopkins Base Hospital 18. In 1919 after the war, she married Benjamin F. Kline, a 1911 graduate of the school of medicine who served with her in the Hopkins Unit. At her death in 1971, her daughter wrote:

She was always proud to have been a ‘Hopkins girl’ and her years there and those she spent with the Hopkins Unit in France during World War I were the most outstanding, exciting, and fulfilling ones of her whole life.

This dark blue, long-sleeved uniform is a long, one-piece dress. There is a collar, and the trim around the edges is white. 2 rows of black buttons clasp along the front of the uniform. On the left sleeve is a patch, gray with a red insignia and the letters "AS" sewn on. The sleeves have a similar button clasp as the front, and the same white trim around the opening edges. Uniform also includes a belt of the same material.
