Identification Features
From British Army Nurses
Context
One of the tasks for both family and military historians is making sense of photographs and pictures. 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

In the following sections there will be a number of photographs and videos, demonstrating the difference in these identifying factors. If you have a tricky photograph you want help with then feel free to send it to me.
Memorials and artwork can also offer help in researching British Army nurses. If you are aware of memorials or artwork near you I would be very pleased if you would share details with me.
