The London Hospital and GNC ,Nursing badge pair

A nice pair of associated badges to a German trainee Nurse at the London Hospital.I believe her be one of the many nurses recruited from postwar Germany to help fill the tremendous shortages being experienced by the newly created NHS.Having completed her training however it appears that she emigrated to Canada.
The Hospital badge is a silver and enamel badge from the London Hospital with the intertwined LH and motto- HUMANI NIHIL A ME ALIENUM PUTO- I consider nothing that is human alien to me.This is accompanied by the Three Prince of Wales feathers and the cross with red and white arms.The face is in good condition with no enamel loss or damage.The rear is engraved to Grietina Ansmits December 20th 1948-December 19h 1951 London Hospital J.Pinches London.Pin ,clasp and safety roller catch all good,although it looks as though this has been professionally replaced at some stage.Height 35mm.
The accompanying badge is in chrome and enamel from the General Nursing Council for England & Wales.This is engraved for G.Ansmidt(sic) SRN186268 26.11.51.Makers mark for Thomas Fattorini Limited Birmingham.Pin,clasp and safety roller catch all good although this too looks to have been professionally replaced.Height 27mm
