Red Cross Rank Pips???
I have looked on the net for details regarding these pips and I could find no solid info on them. Are they WW1, WW2, which country used them etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for those pictures. It is quite strange, the whole layout of the uniform. Maybe someone can help us fill in the blanks? I will ask around as well.

Here is another pic I was sent of Brig Jack Penn wearing the Heimstra shoulder boards. It looks quite similar to the shoulder boards that I have, other than being a different colour I guess.

Andrew, those are awesome!
Did you have any idea where they would belong? I take it the purple ones were for Chaplains. Also any guesses as to why there were different sizes there?
A great find...
