I am trying to find a picture of an actual badge from this organisation and wonder if any members have one? I have seen representations in Jennifer Meglaughlin's book and also the Nursing Record but don't believe I have ever seen a real one.Definitely towards the top of my wants list!
What does it look like?
alas no luck on finding info on your matrons badge I did come across these wonderful articles while researching scottish nurse history plus 3 more must have scottish badges!!!

hope the links work
Thanks Sue some really interesting information there. I wasn't aware of the 1943 Nurses and Midwives Registration act but the need for nurses in wartime apparently took priority over some other military service?
