VAD Cap badge???
I know this lady is the Commandant of the Springfield VAD Hospital, but am not sure what cap badge she is wearing. Is it some sort of Red Cross issued badge? Any idea of the time frame?
  Thanks for any help! Terry

Thanks David.
Would love to see pictures if it's possible. Do you suppose they were all pin backed? Terry

Don’t have my copy to hand but didn’t Ray Westlake in his shoulder title book say female VAD units had even numbers and Male odd numbers?
