Seated in the centre is a woman in a matron's uniform, and either side of her sit two women wearing Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse uniforms. At the back of the photograph in the centre are six Boy Cadets wearing black berets, grey shirts and white sashes which run from the right shoulder down to their waist on the left. .
