  The Silver War Badge This badge was awarded to most servicemen and women who were discharged from military service during the First World War, whether or not they had served overseas. The most common reason for award of the badge was King’s Regulations Paragraph 392 (xvi), meaning they had been released on account of being permanently physically unfit. This small silver badge is a pin designed to be worn on civilian clothes after early discharge from the army. On the back of each badge is a unique number corresponding to the Silver War Badge rolls that survive at The National Archives (TNA). Text - The Imperial War Museum
