The Silver War Badge was first issued in September 1916 to officers and men who were honourably discharged from military service. It was also awarded retrospectively to those already discharged since August 1914. After April 1918 the eligibility was amended to include civilian medical staff and aid workers.
The most frequent official reason for the award of the badge was King’s Regulations Paragraph 392 (xvi), meaning that the recipient had been honourably discharged on account of being permanently physically unfit. This was as a result of war wounds, being gassed, shell shock¹, sickness and disease or a revealed physical weakness.
Around the rim of the badge is inscribed ‘For King and Empire, Services Rendered’. Each badge was engraved on the reverse with a unique number relating to the recipient. However, this number was different than the recipient’s service number. The badge was made of sterling silver and was intended to be worn on the right breast of civilian clothing. It was not permitted to be worn on a military uniform.
The main purpose of the badge was to prevent men not in uniform, especially those without apparent disability, being thought of as cowards or deserters by the public. It was visible evidence of having done military service.
The badge was often accompanied by a certificate in the form of an ornate printed scroll in which the service number, names and unit of the discharged serviceman or woman were handwritten in a calligraphic script. There was a facsimile signature of King George V. There were different designs for the Army, Navy and Air Force, and for Imperial troops.
Silver War Badge.
On War Service Badge, 1916
This badge is less well known than the Silver War Badge. It was issued by the Ministry of Munitions after conscription was introduced for men in 1916.
It was specifically meant for women to wear during the Great War to show that the persons wearing it were engaged in important war work.
The Military Service Act, 1916 (5 & 6 Geo. V Cap. 104) that introduced conscription received the Royal Assent on the 27 Jan 1916.
The names given below are representative of a larger number of Denton recipients of the Silver War Badge.
