About this item
A British Army WW1 Overseas Service Badge showing four years of Overseas Service.
Machine woven on a Khaki wool backing, this badge shows the recipient’s Red Chevron attached to three later Blue Chevrons. Very good overall condition but with the Red Chevon slightly detached at one corner where the stitching has become undone where it joins the later Chevrons.
Overseas service was calculated from the day the soldier disembarked from the United Kingdom. A blue chevron was awarded for each 12 months of overseas service after December 31, 1914, with a maximum of 4 blue chevrons (or 5 if the soldier served in Russia after the war). A single red chevron could be awarded for at least a year or more of overseas service before December 31, 1914, and was worn under the blue chevron(s). Worn on the lower right sleeve of the uniform jacket. Official wear was discontinued in 1922.
Posted is calculated for Special Delivery. If you would like a cheaper service, please let me know.
