Q.A.I.M.N.S.R.
I picked one of these badges up recently in a mixed Lot, again with N-S lugs.
A quick look at the List of Changes post 1946 does not mention this unit or badge, but it does mention the Q.A.I.M.N.S. when they became part of Q.A.R.A.N.C. I think that the Reserve had been previously redesignated as the Territorial Army Nursing Service in 1920.
In August 1950 Q.A.I.M.N.S. adopted their new Q.A.R.A.N.C. badges which included a cape badge. There may be a possibility therefore that the badge we refer to may also have been worn on their cap.
Stephen.
