WWII Red Cross badge? Silver coins...

Found this badge this morning, a possible volunteer badge from WWII having to do with the red cross or medical service. Initials KP separated by a cross. Two silver coins, 1875 and 1869. A small decorative piece maybe from a ring. Obverse.

Reverse of the badge and coins. My finds from yesterday were laying on the sink, my mother was looking at them. She decided to help me out and cleaned two 1800s finger rings, a thimble, two coins from the late 1800s, a lead seal and the small piece shown in the picture. She used a manicure machine, like a dremel tool to clean the finds, LOL. It did clear something up, the rings and thimbles I find are mostly brass. HH, Mike

Congrats on the sweet old silver coins! I really like that badge! I think that is so cool, very unique find for sure, Beale.
 
WTG Mike you find some pretty cool thing over there. The coins are in good shape and your mom is just helping her boy. HH. Wayne
 
The Red Cross badge has been IDed, dates to pre WWI, up to around 1916. The number is probably the name of the nurse that wore it. I will try to get in touch with the Red Cross and get the name sometime. HH, Mike
