Silver War Badge
Whilst the 'Silver War Badge' is a badge issued to soldiers who were
discharged due to sickness or wounds in the First World War, it may also
be recorded as a 'medal' in so far that it was issued from a roll, and
each badge has a unique serial number.
Silver War Badge awarded to Private William Thompson, 1st/5th Battalion,
King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment.
Accession Number: KO1898/08

The museum holds a full transcript of the Silver War Badge Roll for
the King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment. The roll shows the
soldiers details including name, rank, date of enlistment and date of
discharge. Reason for discharge is usually shown, but this may
simply be one of two things: "Wound" or "Sick".
Only a proportion of our collections
are on display at anyone time. Certain items are on loan for display
in other institutions. An appointment is required to consult any of
our collections which are held in store. |
