Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve
Found this among a number of my old badges; thought it might be worth showing:

Nice badge, Peter. Here is the medal/badge that belonged to a cousin of mine who unfortunately died in India during WW2.
Regards, Tinto |

Hello Tinto,
Thanks for posting the medal, and for sharing the story behind it. My badge is approx 21mm in diameter, how does that compare with yours? Regards, PJ |

Hi Peter,
The medal is closer to 22mm diameter. I have a couple of lugged (N-S)badges like yours the same size. Cheers, Tinto |

Good whatever time it is Peter and Tinto.
I'll try and get a decent piccie of my version of the and post it tomorrow. Mine is, 9/8ths" of an inch in diameter, (I hate Metric, we should all stay with Imperial) on an original ribbon and with a Birmingham hallmark for 1916. Regards Brian |

Hello Brian,
By '9/8ths' do you mean 1 inch and 1 eighth? If so, this makes it roughly 5/16" wider than Tinto's and mine. Very interesting. Look forward to seeing it. PJ Last edited by Peter J; 19-02-11 at 09:09 AM. |

The approximate size of the cap badge is: H 33mm X W 29mm, which is normally found with a brooch pin fitting E & W. The collar lugged N & S measures approximately: H 26mm X W 21mm. Best regards, Zob. |
