Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps | Corps Badge

Description

Authentic Royal New Zealand Nursing Corps (RNZNC) bi-metal corps badge, brand new.

Each corps or regiment in the New Zealand Army has its own insignia, called a corps badge (also known as a cap badge or hat badge), to be worn on berets or headdress as a way to easily identify the wearer’s corps.

The corps badge for the RNZNC features a golden St Edward’s Crown above a five pointed star (tip down) with a heraldic lamp embossed in the centre enclosed in a laurel wreath. Below is a sliver scroll inscribed with “Royal NZ Nursing Corps”. The corps badge is fitted on the reverse with 2 metal clutch pins.

The RNZNC corps badge represents the connection of the RNZNC with both the profession of nursing and the birth of military nursing. The golden star is designed after the Registered Nurse Medal, and the heraldic lamp represents the lamp carried by Florence Nightingale.

A perfect addition to your military collection, as a gift, keepsake, or simply just because.
