Nurse Histories - both on hold until December, apologies...
Our current nurse-history - Evelyn Betham - who trained at Oldchurch Hospital, is under current development and the one following, that of a male nurse - Tony Sisson - is now firmly on the drawing board. We still have several nurse histories on our list - most of serious interest, but gathering sufficient history has proven excessively difficult in all but a few cases. We won't be giving up...
Our mail....
We continue to receive some very interesting contributions to our website. Not unusually it is the pictorial submissions which attract most attention - and in this case a badge that we did not, until now, have in our 'National' galleries.
The Walsall General Hospital badge mentioned last month. From 1921 by Vaughton of Birmingham and that is all I can find out. There is a name M J Stuart on the back and have attached picture. "I would like to find out more as to why it was given to this person and any further info you may have would be great as it has got me intrigued..' It seems a very nice badge Nicola - and we didn't have one - we are still looking further...
And finally (for now) A seriously star letter from Australia.
Hello, I was wondering if you could help me identify this badge.
(Click to view)t belonged to my great Aunt. who served during WW2 with the QAIMNSR. She has war medals in the collection and this one which I can't identify. She also has a Middlesex Nurse League badge so assume she was there for a time.
Thank you. kind regards Hilda
We are certainly going to try, it looks to be well worth it.....
Member Photograph Galleries.
Accumulating, but very slowly in the last quarter. The 'National'
galleries now contain 2543 nursing/hospital badge photographs encompassing
all areas of the UK; 342 photographs (buildings/people/ephemera); and 59
photographs of nurse uniforms, both civilian and military. 2944 photographs*. Have a quick
glimpse of the two latest badges.:-

From the Irish collection of Eric Wilkinson |

Here, just a couple of samples from the
Ulster/Irish collection of Eric Wilkinson. There are some absolutely superb
badges displayed both in our Irish 'National' galleries and the Eric
Wilkinson
display gallery.
The galleries are becoming a
small on-line museum and are adding to our knowledge of nursing history quite
nicely, thanks to our contributors. It is available to anyone who cares to
register as a member - a very simple process. All is free...
