UNNRA Grouping US Army Nurses Corps

[Salvage Sailor]

Aloha Everyone,

I'd consider this to be 'miscellaneous' on this forum. This grouping belonged to an US Army Lieutenant in the Nurses Corps stationed with a General Hospital. At the end of the war, she volunteered for service with UNNRA, and also kissed a Major and a Sailor or two.....

Any specific information on the Crowns and Badges (era, RA, RE?) would be appreciated. The RN buttons are made by Gieves, Ltd.

Are they worn by other ranks? I've seen conflicting posts which mention the RE or Canadian units.

Other ranks would have worn this pattern of collar badge. As these are 7 flames they are normally attributed to the R.A. The R.E. have 9 flames.
Hope this helps?

Aye, Thanks!
