Looking for this badge, or at least a better picture, never seen it. Is it rare?
Thanks

Dear Tinto,
That is what I call a straight tip, thanks. I bought the badge.

Although not for sale - there is a very good collection of WW1 VAD items at the invermuseum which can be viewed by this link:

(maybe some more to add to your wish list?)

I just found out that the AWM picture is public domain not copyright. Ada Hogg was an Australian VAD working for the Australian Division of the British Red
Cross. Note her Australian rising sun collar badge, a variety apparently only worn in UK. Now that I have the cap badge, does anyone have a spare collar badge??
