World War One Nurses Hat Blue

The item is an antique World War I era U. Nurse cap, likely associated with the American Red Cross.

It's made of blue fabric with a white band and a red cross emblem. The cap was part of the uniform for nurses serving during wartime, including in military settings.

The red cross symbol is a recognizable emblem indicating medical personnel and neutrality in conflict. During World War I, the Red Cross provided extensive support to military and civilian populations.
