Nurses Uniform 1910s
« on: Thursday 25 September 25 16:19 BST (UK) »
Hi, could someone help with identifying the uniform in the photo.? I think this is a picture of Grace Nailard (later Davidson) in the 1910s since she was a nurse on the 1911 census.  Thank you!   :)

Just in case it helps anyone, in 1911 she is recorded at The London Hospital. Whitechapel.

The building looks like the Royal Victoria Military Hospital, Netley near Southampton.

Some of the uniforms on this Imperial War Museum photo of nurses from Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service look very similar, e.g. the lady on the right looking at the camera.
