Hi John
Thanks for your reply and sorry not to have acknowledged it earlier. In between time, I found the website maintained by the NZANS and was able to track down one of mine. It's a great site and has some really good bio stuff there. A LOT of work has gone into that with married names, dates of death, etc. Yes, you are correct the Bay badge has got a flatter crown and the ferns are a little different. The red enamel of the Bay effort is a little "muddy" and both the ones that I've seen are "burnt" around the edges of the cross. Cheers and thanks! |

WW2 VAD uniform
To quote Confucius, "to find shoe, look for hat". I finally located my VAD uniform colour photo in a filing cabinet. The reason that I could not find it in my computer files was that we only had colour prints, not computers, 40 years ago.
I was given the uniform by the wearer and her identity discs with various VAD insignia included. |

With the rising sun badges and colour patches, it looks more like AAMWS to me but does not have the metal AAMWS titles. She probably transferred from the VADs.
