WW1 Wound Stripe - Lambourne's Birmingham

Well it certainly has lived up to its claim, after all these years! It is in lovely bright gilt condition. This is exactly 2 inches in length and was authorised for wear by Army Order 249 of August 1916 and this was only issued in this size up to 1922 (discontinued for wear on uniform by Army Order 434 of 1922).

Wound stripes issued in WW2 were only 1.5 inches in length.
