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.
