WW1 Silver War Badge (Wound Badge) with attributed Issue Voucher - Kennedy Royal Warwickshire Regiment

A scarce find, a 2nd pattern SWB numbered 269013 with its matching original bestowal certificate to 34167 Pte Frederick William Kennedy of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. Some folding and staining as one would expect to the certificate but the badge is in good condition, silver is dark toned and pin and fittings are original. Worthy of further research.
