Nun or Nurse, part 1
This one is interesting. Is she a nun? or is she a nurse?
Vintage black and white photo postcard is a pair with tomorrow's postcard.
she's both - she's a nurse in a Catholic hospital. If you google "nurse nun" you get a lot of NSFW links. But I did find references to nurse nuns (nun nurses?) in the Crimean War, so I didn't totally make it up :)
I think she is a nurse because she has a cross on her hat like red cross. Also why is this part 1?
