QAIMNS Reserve
Hi,
The badges are all to the Queen Alexanders Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve. The halmarked badge('Medal') to carrington was worn on the nurses tippet during WWI. A smaller version of this was worn on the tippet during WWII. The lugged badge was originally worn as collar badges on the Grey service dress. This dress was replaced by khaki service dress during the war and the lugged badge was then also worn as a cap badge on an ATS style cap. Later in the war the lugged badge was worn on a beret with battledress.
I have posted some pictures of the variations in dress.
