Early Territorial Force Nursing Service Badge
Many thanks indeed for the replies Gentlemen. Yes now you’ve mentioned it having a pin fixing would seem to imply it was for wear by a woman, so fits nicely with it being for the Territorial Force Nursing Service. In fact, thanks to this suggestion, I have now found an example on the website of the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps here, where they too think it to be for the T.F.N.S. As this isn’t quite what I thought it might be, and so doesn’t really fit with my collecting, I think I’ll be parting with it, but am obviously grateful for the help in its probable identification.
Best regards
Martin
