    Badge identification please

    Does anyone know what this badge might be ? Could it be something to do with London Transport ?
    Also, I don't know whether the pattern on the tie is anything specific

    Is there any chance it could be a military badge or have you a reason to think it might be a London Transport badge?
    Do you know the person in the picture - what sort of date are we looking at?

      It's a pity we can't read the small writing around the edge, or even the writing on the tie pin. I wonder if the tie pin is the same thing?

        The first thing I thought of was CSMA (Civil Service Motoring Assn), which it isn't :(
        Is that a crown at the top of the badge? Something to do with the Civil Service? Civil Defence?

          Not this one is it? Silver Wound Badge.

          Result of shopping trip today. The Silver War Badge was issued in the United Kingdom to service personnel who had been honourably discharged due to wounds or sickness during World War I. The badge, sometimes known as the Discharge Badge, Wound Badge or Services Rendered Badge, was first issued in September 1916, along with an official certificate of entitlement. The sterling silver lapel badge was intended to be worn in civilian clothes. It had been the practice of some women to present white feathers to apparently able-bodied young men who were not wearing the King's uniform. The badge was to be worn on the right breast while in civilian dress, it was forbidden to wear on a military uniform. The badge bears the royal cipher of GRI (for Georgius Rex Imperator; George, King and Emperor) and around the rim "For King and Empire; Services Rendered". Each badge was uniquely numbered on the reverse.
