Description

The Silver War Badge is a tribute to the brave service personnel who were honourably discharged due to wounds or sickness during World War I. This exclusive badge, also known as the "Discharge Badge" or "Wound Badge", was first issued in September 1916 and comes with an official certificate of entitlement.

Its introduction was not only to recognize those who received wounds or injuries during war service but also to protect ex-forces' personnel from public embarrassment. By wearing this badge on your right breast while in civilian dress, you discourage any unwarranted confrontations.

The Silver War Badge features the royal cipher of "GRI" (Georgius Rex Imperator) and the inscription "For King and Empire - Services Rendered" around the rim. Each badge is uniquely numbered on the reverse, ensuring its authenticity and historical significance.

Whether you are a collector of military memorabilia or a descendant of a war hero, this badge is a symbol of pride and remembrance. It is a tangible connection to the sacrifices made by our brave servicemen and women.

Please note that the War Office does not replace lost badges, but if one is handed into a police station, it will be returned to the War Office for proper identification and return to its recipient.

Own a piece of history with the Silver War Badge. Wear it with pride and honour the service and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom.
