WWII US Marine Corps Women's Reserve Uniforms

Somewhat rare and hard to find are the uniforms issued to the 18,000 women who served in the US Marine Corps Women's Reserve in World War II. I found several pieces worn by a female Sgt. who served from 1943 to 1946. The moths got to the wool service dress uniforms, but there are several pieces of the utility/work uniforms including her official issue culottes. I have the complete details and photos at http://hudsonmilitaria.com/
