The Common Room / Nurses badge - Leeds - early 20th century
« on: Monday 05 April 21 10:12 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone identify an oval, bronze nursing badge with the Leeds city coat of arms and the initials "L. T. I. N. L." on the suspender bar.  The coat of arms (Featuring owls and the suspended sheep) is surrounded by the motto "QUI NON DEFICIT PROFICIT" (Who does not go forward goes backwards), which is not the motto of the Leeds city corporation.  This badge accompanies WW1 medals awarded to Staff Nurse Lilian Allison (Territorial Force Nursing Service).  She qualified at Leeds Union Infy 1905-08.  I note there was also a Leeds Township Infy, which matches the first three of the initials on the suspension bar.
Thanks, in advance, for any info provided in reply - Peter

Cheshire / T McDonald on Macclesfield War Memorial
« on: Tuesday 01 August 17 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Seeking any info which might identify T McDonald, named on Macclesfield's war memorial (WW1 names).  There was a Thomas McDonald (b 1876 in Macc) in the 1901 census living at 148 Hurdsfield Rd, Macc with wife Mary; by 1911 the family have moved to Stone, Staffs.  There is no T McDonald named on the war memorial at Stone.

Thanks
