Hello ThomasCurtis, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
The cape is exceptional. Nice to see.

The only thing I can think of right now is 'Hospital Volunteer'.

Its very big and not in keeping with a British badge.

I would look toward our European allies for an answer.

Hi Allan

Sorry to be the one to break the bad news but there are a large number of fake badges on your cape
From what I can see so far these include RAF Pilot wing, Army Flying badge, Para wings, India Pegasus, the Glider badge which is post war.
If you can post some better pictures I’m sure others will help too

Thanks
Jack

Default Nurses cape
I concur, l immediately noticed the RAF wings and wondered why they were on the cape as they were modern bad copies.
