Note
Pin was awarded to donor while he was a student at Graceland School on East Green Street, Westminster. He recalled that a doctor or nurse came to the school and examined each student - taking pulse, listening to heart, examining eyes, mouth, throat. Donor started at Graceland in 1933 and received a pin each year. He believes the ones with the cross are the earliest.
