An unmarked silver circlet inscribed 'For King And Empire Services Rendered' bearing crowned 'GRI' Imperial Cypher to voided centre.

265886 Pte F.W. Timms, enlisted pre-war on the 5th January 1914 presumably as a territorial and was discharged on 6th May 1919 due to sickness, aged 49. He did not serve overseas so this was most probably his only medal.

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