We have not yet found a definitive archive account of how or why they were introduced. Looking at the first badges and when they were introduced, there are some strong clues to their origin. The first tippet bad...")

There are a number of identifying features that helps us to work out the era and service of a British Army nurse. The main things to look at are: * Tippets and tippet medals * Uniforms * Medals ==Content== In the following sections there will be a number of photographs and videos, demonstrating the difference in these identifying factors.

In terms of nursing history it will also include letters, postcards, diaries, scrapbooks, photographs, and original official documents. What they have in common is their 'transient' nature.

Army nurses were active in both of these processes. When we look at the history of Army nurses, or explore a member of our family who was an Army nurse, we need to understand these contexts in order to understand and properly contextualise the materials we are using. ==Nursing as a Profession== Early...")

Family historians want to 'fix' the family connections and so might be more interested in what further connections they can establish, or if the data supports connections they have already surmised. Nursing historians want to 'fix' the context in that they want to understand the circumstances of the events and how that might relate to nurses...")
