An original “For King and Empire – Services Rendered” Silver War Badge, issued during World War I to soldiers who were honourably discharged due to wounds or sickness sustained during service.
Commonly associated with ANZAC and British Empire troops, this badge allowed recipients to wear civilian clothing without being accused of avoiding military duty — marking them as having already served and sacrificed.
The badge features:
- A crowned monogram of King George V at centre
- Circular inscription: “For King and Empire – Services Rendered”
- Original pin-back fitting
- Classic openwork design in silvered metal
Each badge was originally individually numbered on the reverse (not visible here), making them traceable to specific service records — adding potential research value.
A meaningful and personal artefact of WWI, representing not just service — but the cost of it.
