Canadian Forces 'Nursing badge'??

[Milmed]

Hi,
I have seen a number of these badges over the years for sale and each time it has been said to be Canadian Armed Forces nursing badge. There are variations including a very large bullion blazer badge, a metal badge on blue cloth backing, a Lurex wire badge and smaller enamelled metal badge with safety pin catch on back.

As far as my research goes the nursing services of the Canadian Forces have always used Canadian medical badges (either RCAMC or CFMS, etc). I have yet to identify if these badges are in fact military or whether they are from some other government department. They are however definately Canadian.

Is there a knowledgable person out there that can shed more light on these.

Regards
Steven
