WWI to WWII nurses uniforms? - research help needed!

hello all! i haven't listed much lately and have been trying not to buy in any new stock as i can barely move at the moment for vintage everythings...and instead of spending the weekend listing in bulk as i should have done i drove around the country buying even MORE!

amongst other things, i have now come into possesion of quite a number of early british nurses uniforms. i'm not sure of the exact date, but they look quite a lot like this:

(1914 - 18?)

as you can imagine, search 'nurses uniform' on google and you get a fantastic array of pvc etc.

so, does any one know of any good sites for dating british nurses items? i've had a look at the royal college of nursing website, and the red cross etc. but am having trouble finding a good site specifically relating to the uniforms. just wondered if any else had tried before..

thank you !!!

 

I would narrow the search down...try http://www.clusty.com
Vivisimo tends to bring you more relevant results if you list all the criteria

Like WWI British Nurse Uniform versus just nurse uniform...

 

thanks chris, will try that!

 

let us know what you find out!

 

haven't had time to get mine pictured yet as am busy rearranging inventory, but thought i would add the links i found so far just here incase anyone else finds them useful at any point in the future!

massive amounts of photographs, all dated (hurrah!):

nursing and midwifery history resource (uk), with useful history of uniform section:

i did find more but these were probably the most comprehensive pictorially.

will post a pic when i finally get round to listing!
