Can't find details about the badge (Red Cross Museum has one) but here is some basic info about the hospital :
https://chorltonhistory.blogspot.com...-of-great.html A book , "Great War Britain Manchester: Remembering 1914-18" By Andrew Simpson , contains a couple of pages about the hospital including a photo of patients in their 'hospital blues'. .
