Large Badge (bronze, maker marked "J.R. GAUNT & SON Ltd LONDON" and stamped "217405" on the reverse, 39 mm x 44 mm, vertical pinback); and Small Badge (white metal, marked "1916" on the obverse, 21.2 mm x 24 mm, push pin, repair evident on the reverse). Fine. Footnote: On War Service badges were worn by civilians during the First World War, in order to indicate that the person wearing it was on engaged in important war-work. Several of these badges were officially produced and distributed nationally but many more were produced privately by employing companies to support their employees. The On War Service 1916 Badge was a triangular shaped badge issued after conscription in 1916 by the Ministry of Munitions. It was intended solely for women engaged in urgent war work. A clue to this fact is that the previous versions of the badge intended for men have a button hole fitting on the back, while the 1916 triangular badge has a pin like a brooch for women.
