Default seeking info on australian red cross field force

hi all
I am seeking info on the Australian Red Cross Field Force.
I believe they were red cross nurses who at some stage were in Vietnam as I've seen some pics of the patch being worn during the viet war.
I have also requested information from the NZ guys, on this unit and in particular the patch that says New Zealand.
thanks in advance

here's a link to the pic
I've seen a much better and clearer pic where the title is clearer

Default A couple of different variations of the Red Cross insignia

Hello All,

Here are a couple of images form the reference collection compiled for Volume 1. As you can see, there are a couple of different variations there, which may be of interest?

Yours in collecting and research

I don't know whether this one is military Red Cross or not, but it took my fancy.
