Description:This cap was made by the company 'Sister Dora' which would have taken its name from the well loved Anglican nun and nurse Sister Dora from Walsall (1832-1878). This type of small white cap was worn by probationer nurses in civillian hospitals and Voluntary Aid Detchment nurses during World War 1 until mid 1915. The cap is made out of simple plain white cotton with elastic at the back of the neck to secure it.
