B.G.H. Red Cross badge??

OK, here's another one. 19.5mm across the arms and made in exactly the same style as the WW1 Red Cross nurse's pins. Brooch fastener. B?? General Hospital?

Thanks.

Reminds me of an American Red Cross pin. The design behind the enamel is why I say that. I have not seen a BRCS pin with the design under the enamel, but seems common on ARC, and other American pins.

That said the design is slightly different from what I've seen and the ARC pin I have, so this is just an assumption on my part.

British General Hospital ?

Found an account of a British VAD Nurse who served in various B.G.H units in India.

And as far back as the Great War too I see. https://www.grandadswar.org/photos/hospitals/

I was thinking something like Base General Hospital but that didn't quite make sense.

Thanks for that Mike.

So, would it be a cap badge, breast badge, lapel pin?
