hi - can anyone help me identify this badge from Canada
Its a large heavy badge with the initials CHA - I know that Bon Accord is the motto for Aberdeen Possibly City Hospital Aberdeen or even Royal Cornhill Hospital Aberdeen

Well done Sue,Yes it is indeed Aberdeen City Hospital,there is one listed in the Meglauchlin archive of the RCN.There are several similar badges consisting just of interwoven initials where the hospital is often a matter of guesswork.I see that Edelweiss won the AGHHW Training School for Nursing that was up on ebay recently,anyone know which hospital this was from?

thanks Pete I bought it hoping that i was right and am pleased to have got it Have to say its quite a solid heavy piece I am sometimes reluctant to buy badges with only initials just in case it  isn't what you think it is This was a gamble that paid off See that a badge with initials WMH is on ebay at the moment but think seller has picked wrong hospital for the initials. Hopefully Eidelweiss will identify her badge Trying to work it out as I did see it for sale and its another nice one :-*

Hello,
Its definatly not a Wrexham Maelor badge (from any period), the three seaxes denote that its most probaly from Essex.
