Royal Army Medical Corps, Nurses/Sweetheart belt buckle

An unusual two piece buckle in pressed brass metal onto which the regimental badge of the Royal Army Medical Corps has been added in white metal.I believe this to be a souvenir/sweetheart piece from around the time of the First World War.I have been told that such pieces were often gifted by soldiers to the nurses caring for them and might carry the regimental badges of that soldier.Whilst I have seen similar items ,they do not come up too often.Condition is good with some minor dents in the soft metal .Belt loops and clasp are intact width 119mm height 56mm
