Hi Mike,
Nice badge on rosette. This is of course a standard Transvaal Medical Staff Corps badge of the period 1903 - 1914.

I suspect the rosette may be related to a group of Nurses that were employed within the TMSC. I am aware that they wore the collar badge of the TMSC on there uniform, but seen your rosette makes me think maybe this was the full badge they wore. I have unfortunately not come across any photographs of these nurses in uniform yet.

Regards
Steven
