Title General Service cap badge
Nationality British
Period 1914-18
Price £5.00

This badge would have been issued to soldiers who had not been allocated to a specific unit. The device is the full Royal Arms of George V. An officer would have worn something similar in bronze (this was worn by other ranks).

This die-struck badge measures just 4cm across in gilding metal. It is a crisp if slightly distorted example, with traces of pink polishing compound throughout.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
