Hello,

interesting thread, thank you for sharing.

Here are two of my pics showing QARNNS, both ww2 period taken.

As per caption, first one shows a group of RN Wrens with two QARNNS nurses, picture taken in 1943.

Second one is from another source & photos lot, from one of these junior QARNNS Reserve nurses, while assigned in Malta Bighi RN Hospital 1943-44(I think I have the nurse's name). Based on Steven’s explanations, looks like all the ones with visible tippet badges belong to QARNNS Reserve, a part the most senior one sat next to the RN officer, who seems to wear a Superintending sister or Matron tippet badge (hard to say from B&W pic).

Ladies under uniforms of the ww2 german, free french & british & Commonwealth navies is also a topic of interest to me.


Cheers,

JD
