USA: "Bronze Star - Elizabeth A. Allen ANC"

[No one]

Dear Gentlemen,

 

Here is the  "Bronze Star" attributed to Captain Elizabeth A. Allen ANC.

 

 

Finding a lot of information was a very rewarding experience for me this time.

 

- "My War" My War - Elizabeth A. Allen (historynet.com)

 

 

The following quotations come from this source:

 

Officer, Nurse, Woman: The Army Nurse Corps in the Vietnam War - Kara Dixon Vuic - Google ブックス

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I couldn't find was what other medals she was entitled to.

 

Latter on, I bought those items:

Interesting story on a nurse/s in Vietnam. Collecting articles to nurses is one of my main focuses.  Not just military nurses but nurses in general who served in hospitals for the war wounded.

Regards,

Gordon

Unofficially engraved because the Army does not add the branch like "ANC"

Dear Gordon Craig,

 

I just posted this article for you:

 

 

Dear Bill Brouillard Jr.

 

Thank you for the information.It's always a pleasure to receive some interesting remarks.

But without it I'm not sure I could have found her.

There are a lot of "Elizabeth A. Allen".
