A few AIF, CEF, SA and NZEF prefixed SWB badges are on ancestry
Hello,
My apologies if this is old news, it’s new to me.
While looking for a Brit SWB badge number I came across a book with AIF, Canadian, S. African, NZEF, some obscure colonial units as well as Royal Maltese Artillery badge numbers. I think the Maltese ones can be found online anyway but badge numbers for the AIF, CEF, NZEF and S. Africans aren’t ordinarily online so, if you have a low numbered badge with the A, C, NZ or SA prefix, give it a go, perhaps you’ll be able to put a name to the badge.
I found them here Please wait... W0329/3255
60 odd pages to the AIF, 99% of them being 3 digit numbers
100 odd pages to the CEF in 3 digit numbers
A few pages NZEF 2 and 3 digit numbers
1 to 7 Newfoundland Regt.
60 odd pages of SA
Interestingly the AIF badge records show the actual wound or sickness instead of just noting King’s Regs. ....... or wounds/sickness e.g. 2084 Pte. James Diamond – rheumatism & bad teeth and 59 Pte. JA Murray GSW left arm & shell shock.
If you don’t have access to ancestry you can at least put in a badge number to see if it brings up a name UK, Silver War Badge Records, 1914-1920
