I concure.

I believe it is the Royal Red Cross (2nd Class)

This decoration has the distinction of being confined to females until 1976. It is conferred on members of the nursing services regardless of rank. A second class award was introduced in 1917. Holders of the 2nd class are promoted to 1st class on second awards. Holders of the 1st Class decoration are known as Members (MRRC) while recipients of the 2nd Class are Associates (ARRC)
