WW2 Home Front - British Red Cross Society (BRCS) Voluntary Aid Detachment ( VAD) Mobile Felt Cloth Arm Badge - attributed

A good example of a Second World War British Red Cross Society silk embroidered felt badge worn by the Mobile unit of the Voluntary Aid Detachments on the arm of the uniform. Good condition with some evidence of service wear, and has ink annotations on the reverse white backing cloth as follows: BRCS Notts 32, 6319 M A Smith. Presumably the 32 is reference to a Nottinghamshire Detachment numbered 32, and the longer number which follows that of the recipient, M A Smith.

In Ward Dress, the VAD would wear a grey/blue dress with white apron, an armband bearing the Mobile badge to the left arm, and a white veil gathered behind the head in a fashion unlike those worn by military nurses. Circa 7.5cm in height.
