Terry,
This is not a nurses tippit but a cold weather long cape. These were worn by QAIMNS, QAIMNSR and TANS in grey wool and lined in red.
I have handled this cape and it is WWII with all patches been WWII as well. Unfortunately it was a bit out of my pay scale so did not buy it at the time.
Glad you managed to get it Alex. I understand the lady who sold it to the book shop got it from a friend who's mother served during the war.
