KNOWN ATTRIBUTED EXAMPLES HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN
Type 1 (1900) – 4 presented in 1900; at least one presented in 1903
Obverse with silver-gilt "A" superimposed on a white cross edged in red (the Danish Dannebrog), surmounted with a coronet, all in enamels. The "A" on the 1900 issue is somewhat larger than that found on the 1903 badge.
Reverse: "ALEXANDRA / PRINCESS OF WALES / FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY / 1900".
Type 2 (1903) – c. 25 presented
Obverse with silver-gilt "A" superimposed on a white cross edged in red (the Danish Dannebrog), surmounted with a coronet, all in enamels.
Reverse: "ALEXANDRA / FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY / 1899 / TO / 1902".
Issued in dark navy blue morocco case, the lid blocked in gilt with Queen Alexandra's double "A" cypher surmounted by a crown.
White silk lining with Royal Warrant and jeweller's details: "ROWLAND & FRAZER / 146, REGENT ST / LONDON" "BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT".
"The badge was designed by the Queen herself before her accession, and similar ones were conferred on the nurses who served on her hospital ship. It consists of a cross in white enamel on gold, bearing the initial 'A', and surmounted by a crown in red enamel. At the back are the words, 'Alexandra, Princess of Wales, 1900. Faith, Hope, Charity'. It is worn from a red ribbon" (London Daily Telegraph, 12/06/1903). Although written in 1903, this is a description of the 1900 variant.
ISSUED UNNAMED
Note: only four badges of the 1900, large "A" variety were presented in 1900. Although the majority of the bages presented in 1903 had the 1899 to 1902 dates, at least one recipient (Sister Thorpe) is known to have recieved a 1900-dated badge.
Hibbard surmised that all 46 of the London Hospital staff who served in South Africa received the badge. However, from articles published in the press at the time, it is clear that only 26 of these nurses belonged to Queen Alexandra's personal corps – "some twenty-six fully-trained ladies responded to the call" (London Daily Telegraph, 12/06/1903). Together with the four nurses who staffed the Hospital Ship 'Princess of Wales', this gives a total of thirty recipients.
Hibbard calls this badge the 'Queen Alexandra's Cross'.
A group has been seen to Nursing Sister Jane Elizabeth SKILLMAN (St Bartholomew's Hospital), which includes a Queen Alexandra's Cross. This appears to be a marriage, as Skillman was not on the staff of the London Hospital. She also has an earlier ANSR number (No. 95), which falls outside the range of those of the known recipients. These have the following consecutive ANSR numbers: 131 to 136 inclusive, and 703 to 722 inclusive.

A ST HELENS NURSE GOING TO THE FRONT.
Chosen by the Princess of Wales.
Miss Clara EVANS, daughter of the late Mr W. Evans, of Prescot, and sister of Mrs Joseph Massey, of St Helens, is one of the six nurses chosen from the staff of the London Hospital by the Princess of Wales to proceed to South Africa on Saturday. Miss EVANS has for the past three and a half years been at the London Hospital, and has a good deal of experience in the men’s surgical ward. She is to have an interview with the Princess of Wales before leaving England. The nurses will probably travel in the Dunnottar Castle, by which Lord Roberts sails on Saturday. The Mayor od St Helens (Councillor Beecham) has sent Miss EVANS a letter of congratulations.
Morning Leader, 25th December 1899
NURSES FOR THE FRONT.
Six sisters and nurses, specially chosen from the London Hospital on behalf of the Princess of Wales for service in South Africa, sailed for the Cape on board the Dunnottar Castle.
Their names are Sisters BECHER, McCARTHY, McGOWAN, and GREENHAM, and Nurses EVANS and HAMILTON, and their selection was chiefly the outcome of a visit which the Princess of Wales paid to the hospital some little time ago.
The nurses have been selected because of their possessing special surgical experience which eminently qualifies them to attend the wounded.
Bury & Norwich Post, 26th December 1899
NURSING SISTER CHADWICK.
The appointment of Sister Clara Mavesyn CHADWICK to the superintendence of the nursing staff of the steamer Princess of Wales is one more of those links between the public service and the ancient families of England, of which the present war has produced so many instances. Her family settled on their own lands in Lancashire before the reign of Edward III, migrated to Mavesyn Ridware, in Staffordshire, a property which became theirs by heirship from the Malvoisins of the Norman conquest. New Hall in Warwickshire, where they latterly resided, they inherited in the last century from the Sacheverells. The father of Miss CHADWICK served with credit in the Indian Mutiny, and when reverse of fortune made it necessary for the young lady to undertake active work she chose army nursing, in which, she became a proficient. Her longest term of service has been passed in Malta, at the old hospital of the Knights of St John.
Manchester Courier, 21st July 1900
The Princess of Wales and Princess Victoria last week visited the London Hospital, where they inspected the apparatus for the “light Cure” of lupus – Her Royal Highness’s present to the Hospital. Before leaving they visited the garden, where the nurses were assembled, and the Princess tied one of her own badges round the arm of twenty of them who are soon to start for South Africa. They will be known as the “Princess of Wales nurses”. Her Royal Highness spoke to each, in her gracious way, while she presented them with warm Shetland shawls and rugs. Part of the equipment of each nurse is a tin case, containing everything necessary for the treatment of typhoid, compactly arranged. Two large cases of gifts for the invalids who will be under their care, will go with them, from the Princess of Pity, as she is now called.
Evening Mail, 12th December 1900
Before leaving the ship she [the Princess of Wales] presented the four nursing sisters – Misses CHADWICK, BREBNER, HOGARTH, and SPOONER – with a souvenir brooch. The brooch consist of a white enamel cross surmounted by a gold crown, and the front of the cross bears the initial “A” in gold.
Hampshire Advertiser, 12th December 1900
Before her departure the Princess presented the nurses with gold enamelled brooches in the shape of a little cross, with the inscription on, “From Alexandra. Faith, Hope, and Charity, December 10th, 1900”.
The Nursing Mirror, 15th December 1900
PRESENTATION BY THE PRINCESS OF WALES ON HER HOSPITAL SHIP.
As on former occasions the Princess of Wales visited Southampton to inspect her hospital ship on its arrival for the third time from South Africa, and to inquire personally as to the health of the patients. The civil surgeon gave Her Royal Highness, who spent an hour and a quarter on board and conversed with each patient, particulars of the worst cases; and she herself saw one sufferer, who was wounded in eight places, carried on an ambulance chair out of the ship, when he was transferred, with over twenty other patients, to the train en route for the Gables Hospital at Surbiton. An unexpected, but most interesting, ceremony took place on the vessel before the Princess of Wales left. To their great delight, Her Royal Highness presented each of the four nursing sisters, Misses CHADWICK, BREBNER, HOGARTH, and SPOONER, with a souvenir brooch. The brooch is a charming decoration, consisting of a white enamel cross surmounted by a gold crown, the front of the cross bearing the initial "A" in gold. As the Princess of Wales has personally spent £8,000 on the fittings of the vessel which bears her name, it is incredible that the ship will be permitted to go out of commission, though she is not to return again to South Africa.
Illustrated London News, 22nd December 1900
It was, indeed, characteristically kind and charming of the Princess of Wales to provide special and personal badges for the four nurses who have tended the wounded on the hospital-ship called after her Royal Highness. The Princess has visited the ship on each of its arrivals home filled with invalids; and this being the last trip that it is to make, and the nurses’ special duty being terminated, the gracious Princess gave them the great pleasure of presenting them with her gift on her final visit to the scene of their labours. The badge is a brooch in the shape of a cross of white enamel outlined with red enamel, having her Royal Highness’s coronet in its proper colouring for its surmount, and engraved on the back are the words: “From Alexandra. For Faith, Hope, and Charity”. It is arranged to be worn from a red ribbon or pinned in as a brooch. The Princess shook hands with each nurse, and graciously thanked them for their services on her ship. Now those four nurses will assuredly desire or deserve no more delightful and permanent recognition of the manner in which they have fulfilled their patriotic duty.
The Nursing Mirror, 26th January 1901
THE PRINCESS OF WALES AND HER HOSPITAL SHIP.
With her customary thoughtfulness and unfailing kindness of heart, the Princess of Wales - now the Queen Consort - has sent by Sister CHADWICK of the Army Nursing Service, a number of small packages containing articles of clothing and sundry comforts for the patients in some of the hospitals in South Africa which Miss CHADWICK will visit.
In recognition of the work of Miss CHADWICK, who was in charge of the Princess of Wales's hospital ship during the whole period of the vessel's service between England and South Africa, Her Royal Highness has presented her with a very handsome gold and enamel cross. The Princess of Wales has also presented each patient at the Gables private military hospital with a pocket-case and a cartridge pencil bearing the engagement at which the recipient was wounded. The Princess's hospital ship has now made its last voyage to the Cape, and the hospital which Sir Alfred Cooper has equipped and maintained is to be closed shortly. Sir Alfred has received a silver cigarette case from soldier patients and Lady Cooper a silver card case, while the nursing staff also received presents.
The Nursing Mirror, 6th February 1901
Queen Alexandra has, in a variety of ways, on many occasions, given practical proof of her desire to help those whose true mission in the world is to help others at the most trying time of life. Her kindness of heart, the gentleness which is one of her distinguishing traits, her unaffected piety, would naturally prompt her to render any assistance she could to the Divine work of succouring the sick, and she has quietly availed herself of every possible opportunity to identify herself with it. This has been demonstrated again and again during the course of the campaign in South Africa. It will be fresh in the memory of our readers how, little more than a year ago, she determined to send out twelve highly-trained ladies, to be known at the seat of the war as the Princess of Wales's Nurses, and how characteristically she received them before their departure, investing them herself with her own badge, and speaking to each the well-chosen words which are always at her command. In her anxiety to be of service to our wounded soldiers, she resolved to supply them with a hospital ship of her own, which she completely equipped, and at her instance a large number of them were tended on their return in a luxurious private hospital. She regularly visited the vessel on its arrival in port, and conversed with the nurses whom she had chosen, while those engaged in her hospital had more than once the pleasure of answering her thoughtful inquiries about the progress of their patients. The gold cross which she presented the other day to the sister who was in charge of her hospital ship during its voyages will be a cherished souvenir; and in acknowledging the substantial sum which the nurses voluntarily contributed through our columns to her War Fund, she used language which conveyed to every subscriber a sense of personal appreciation. She has watched with close attention the arduous labours of the army sisters, and has learnt with deep regret that, while some died at the post of duty, the physical resources of others have been overtaxed.
London Daily Telegraph, 12th June 1903
QUEEN AND NURSES.
The King and Queen, with the Duke of Cambridge and their suite, were conducted to the lift, which was prettily draped in pink muslin, at the surgical end of the department, and were conveyed to the section devoted to the Röntgen Rays treatment. Here it was that none of the most interesting episodes of the day took place, when the Queen presented badges to those nurses whom she herself sent out to South Africa at the outset of the war. The London Hospital had come forward several months before, when the wise foresight of Princess Christian had enrolled the Army Nursing Reserve, but these were, as all remember, soon insufficient for the demands from the front. Her Majesty, as Princess of Wales, sent to Miss Lückes, the matron, for further volunteers, and some twenty-six fully-trained ladies responded to the call. Queen Alexandra, before they left in the sorrowful weeks of December, 1899, herself tied round their arms brassards of white linen, bearing her own coronet and cypher and the Geneva Cross worked in red upon white linen, giving at the same time something akin to a hint that she should hope to confer some more lasting memorial on their return. These armlets, much faded with use, were worn by the nurses who awaited the King and Queen, these being Miss BECHER, R.R.C. (now principal matron with the Matron-in-Chief at the War Office), Miss McCARTHY, R.R.C. (now matron at Woolwich), Miss GREENHAM, R.R.C., Miss A. THOMAS, Miss V.P. SQUIRES, Miss E. FRY, Miss E. BALDREY, Miss L. HUMPHREYS, Miss G.[sic] A. THORPE, Miss N.E. TATE, Miss H.[sic] PARMINTER, and Miss N.H.[sic] HOLLOWAY. Present, too, were Miss Tarr, who was with Sir Frederick Treves during the operation on the King, and Miss Haines, one of the nurses who attended his Majesty subsequently.
Mr Sydney Holland said that he begged to present to her Majesty some of the nurses she had sent out, who had nobly fulfilled the undertaking he had made on their behalf that they would do their duty well and unselfishly, and carry to the soldiers that sympathy that she had always shown to the sick.
In reply the Queen said: –
I am glad to see my nurses back. I was confident when I sent them out that they would do honour to the training they had received from Miss Lückes at this hospital, and I now wish to give each of them a little memento of their service abroad for me.
The badge was designed by the Queen herself before her accession, and similar ones were conferred on the nurses who served on her hospital ship. It consists of a cross in white enamel on gold, bearing the initial “A”, and surmounted by a crown in red enamel. At the back are the words, “Alexandra, Princess of Wales, 1900. Faith, Hope, Charity”. It is worn from a red ribbon, and each of the twelve nurses received it from her Majesty’s hands. Two others, alas, died in the fulfilment of their duty, and the Queen sent the treasured emblems to their nearest relatives, while to the rest, some of whom are still abroad, it will be forwarded in due course.
London Evening Standard, 12th June 1903
Leaving the hall amid renewed cheers, their Majesties were conducted over the Röntgen Ray, the electro-therapy, the lupus, the ophthalmic and the aural departments. Here they saw some of the practical work of the Hospital, and here the Queen performed two interesting ceremonies. The first of these was the presentation of twelve badges to nurses who served in the South African War. The London Hospital sent twenty-six nurses to the front. Of these two are dead, some are still abroad, and others are in different parts of the country.
Mr Holland introduced the nurses with these words: –
“I beg to present to your Majesty some of the nurses you sent out to South Africa from this Hospital. I promised that these nurses should do their duty well and unselfishly, and should carry to the soldiers that sympathy which you have always shown to the sick. They have one and all nobly carried out that promise”.
The Queen replied: –
I am glad to see my nurses back. I was confident when I sent them out that they would do honour to the training they had received from Miss Lückes at this Hospital, and I now wish to give each of them a little memento of their service abroad for me”.
Her Majesty then pinned upon the breast of each nurse a white enamel cross with a crown and the cypher “A” – a badge similar to that given to the nurses in the hospital ship. The two first recipients of this distinction were Miss BECHER, Principal Matron at the War Office, and Assistant Matron-in-Chief at the London Hospital; and Miss McCARTHY, now Matron at the Woolwich Hospital.
Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, 14th June 1903
THE LONDON HOSPITALS.
……. In the studio room Queen Alexandra presented badges to some of the nurses she had sent out from the London Hospital to South Africa. Addressing them the Queen said: – “I am glad to see my nurses back. I was confident when I sent them out that they would do honour to the training they had received from Miss Lückes at this hospital, and I now wish to give each of them a little memento of their service abroad for me”. Subsequently their Majesties expressed to Mr Sydney Holland their gratification at all they had seen.
Waterford Standard, 20th June 1903
GREAT DISTINCTION FOR A WATERFORD NURSE.
On Friday, the 12th instant, King Edward and Queen Alexandra opened the new Out-Patients Department of the London Hospital, erected at a cost of £80,000. One of the most interesting episodes of the day was when Her Majesty presented badges to those nurses whom she herself sent out to South Africa at the commencement of the war. Queen Alexandra before they left in the sorrowful weeks of December, 1899, herself tied round their arms brassards of white linen, bearing her own coronet and cypher and the Geneva Cross worked in red upon white linen, giving at the same time something akin to a hint that she should hope to confer some more lasting memorial on their return. These armlets, much faded with use, were worn by the nurses who awaited the King and Queen, and each of them were presented by Her Majesty with new badges, and amongst their names we were glad to see the name of Miss Annie THOMAS, the distinguished and highly cultured nurse instructress of the Waterford Workhouse Hospital. It was a high honour for Miss THOMAS to receive, and shows how much she is thought of even in Royal circles.
