I agree with Kev, if they're going to issue something it should be along the lines of the wounded stripe. There's no need to copy any kind of medal from another country. Canada reinstated the wounded stripe so if we're going to copy someone, let it be them. Robin, the SWB or Silver War Badge was mainly issued to anyone discharged under King's regs. for illness or wounds, I believe the majority were issued to men leaving due to sickness. My g grandad received one for pneumonia during the Great War and also the cheaper made non silver version during WWII, only I don't know the reason for his discharge the second time. Tony
