Hi guys!

Is there anyone of You, who knows for sure what exactly this is? I was told it's a badge for female Red Cross volunteers.

Kind regards, Peter

Hungarian Red Cross badge

A literal translation: Military Observer station.

Munkacs is a town in Hungary.

These badges were worn by the staff including the nurses, medical orderlies and other soldiers attached.

A very nice badge.
