An unmarked silver circlet inscribed 'For King And Empire Services Rendered' bearing crowned 'GRI' Imperial Cypher to voided centre. In good condition, dark toned, original C clasp but a crudely applied replacement pin. Circa 32mm in diameter. Copy of CD version of SWB roll entry and copy of WW1 Medal Index Card (MIC) to be supplied.

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.
