WW1 Silver War Badge (SWB) to Edward Griffiths, Labour Corps

SWB officially impressed B324119 awarded to Private Edward Griffiths, Labour Corps. An unmarked silver circlet inscribed 'For King And Empire Services Rendered' bearing crowned 'GRI' Imperial Cypher to voided centre. In very good condition, silver dip cleaned, in superb condition complete with original pin fittings (north - south). Circa 32mm in diameter. Copy of CD version of SWB roll entry Copy of WW1 Medal Index Card (MIC) to be supplied.

170376 Pte Edward Griffiths enlisted 5th January 1915, discharged 10th March 1919 of sickness. Aged not given. I suspect he served initially with a line regiment but my search for his details has drawn a blank.

Approximately 1,150,000 badges were issued to all services, which had to be claimed and then approved.
