Thank you Mike! That is a thorough and complete answer, and the link is excellent. The "NS" in the pin made me wonder if it was nursing related.

NS - National Service (ND - Nationale Diens)
The SAWAS was originally formed from an organization started in 1939 called the South African Womans National Service Legion, hence the NS in the badge. |
