Silver War Badge 

Many of the men and women who were invalided out of the army after a wound or sickness that led to a medical down-grading were awarded this badge.

 It was authorised in September 1916 and applied to soldiers regardless of whether they had served in a theatre of war or not. Thus a soldier could 'win' a SWB but have no campaign medals.

The badges were individually numbered on the reverse side.
