Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service Reserve

Found this among a number of my old badges; thought it might be worth showing:

Shame about the broken/missing pin.

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

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?

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.

Hi,

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.
