SharonWitherden Posted 7 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2005 Thanks for the reply, I did wonder what the 2(a) stood for. You don't happen to know what a French RX is? Just out of curiosity. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Samson Posted 7 February , 2005 Share Posted 7 February , 2005 I'd hazard a guess at French Red Cross, Sharon. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonWitherden Posted 7 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2005 RX for Red Cross - it never occurred to me that it was that, but now that you've pointed it out.... thanks Gary Sharon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalredcross Posted 14 February , 2005 Share Posted 14 February , 2005 FRX is certainly British Committee French Red Cross. This particular Hill served with the Scottish Women's Hospitals Girton and Newnham Unit as a plaster cast maker !! NGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
