WW2 British Grey VAD Nurses Ward Dress and White Apron
VAD (Voluntary Aid Detachment) Ward nurses Dress
The Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) was a voluntary unit of civilians providing nursing care for military personnel in the United Kingdom and various other countries in the British Empire. Although VADs were intimately bound up in the war effort, they were not Military Nurses as they were not under the control of the military. The VAD nurses worked in Field hospitals , i.e., close to the battlefield, and in longer-term places of recuperation back in Britain.
