Hi Terry , haven't fully checked out the British Red Cross museum site but they have a searchable archive about badges which you may find interesting/helpful.

Hi Terry , not a badge but thought you may appreciate this.
The Royal British Legion brought out a set of 3 postcards to commemoratate the centenary of WW1 , they were produced to look like the 'original' ones. PS. At the beginning of the year someone was trying to sell one of the postcards as an original for £795.00 ! .

Thanks Mike, Yes, very interesting. If I had one I'd be happy to sell it for 795 GBP!!!, As they say, a fool and his money are soon separated!!!
Thanks for sharing, Terry |

I recently found this article regarding he VAD and their relation to the BRCS and SJA. I am not sure about a couple of things it presents re the VAD uniforms.
http://www.photodetective.co.uk/VAD.html It says he VAD associated with the BRCS wore a pale blue dress with a red cross on the front of their apron. And that the VAD associated with the SJA wore a gray dress with a plain apron. Anyone have any thoughts or further information on this? Terry |
