Comments: Not strictly speaking a medal but nonetheless it was worn
by recipients in a similar manner. It was awarded to service personnel
who were invalided out of the armed forces before they could qualify
for any of the medals issued for the Second World War. A similar badge had
appeared in the form of the Silver
War Badge during the First World War. |
