military style waist belt clasp ??????
Probably not military but this small size wbc is of a military style, my thoughts are a school item perhaps but any help in identification will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance P.B.

Thanks Hoot,
I wonder if the colour of the belt itself is a clue ? P.

Worcester Medical Museums may be able to give you an answer , link is to a page about the Bates Gold Medal :
"This medal was given to Linda M. Randall (nee St. Leger Chambers) in 1968 for winning the first prize at Worcester Royal Infirmary's Student Nurse Training School." https://medicalmuseum.org.uk/batesgoldmedal

I have received a very helpful reply from the Worcester Medical Museum which is attached unfortunately it does not provide a positive identification.
Back to the drawing board. P.B.
