Title: Christina Simpson
Post by: nursesue on August 30, 2014, 12:02:35 PM
after searching in ebay for something nice I came across what I thought was " yet again another scottish midders" badge How wrong was I ? the description says it came with a certificate What I got was a bundle of ephemera all related to Christina -  a real treasure trove of a nurse/midwife's career. I debated on this site to whether or not I should keep the non nurse related paperwork but came to realise I should keep the collection together.
Now as some of you know my computer doesn't like my camera so have tried my best to upload some photos in my gallery of this wee but important collection I have only included the nursing related material but if you like I could try and upload the rest of the collection.
if Wilf can improve on my pics (or anyone else) please feel free
Yes I'd love to find out more about her and perhaps even discover her other hospital badges
Please enjoy and forgive my poor photography

Nice pieces there Sue.  Did you ask the seller if they knew the whereabouts of Christina's other badges?

Perhaps a nurse history Sue?  Maybe 'lizzie' (Sarah) can help?
