Good Conduct Badge

[StevieMc]

Can anyone shed any light on the award my Great grandfather received on 8th August 1912. He is listed in the HLI Chronicle as receiving a good conduct badge 2nd class (see link). Does anyone have a photograph of such a badge or any further info?

Thanks.

I read that as not 2nd Class, but his second badge.

The Good Conduct Badge was a formality but difficult to achieve for it meant serving for two years without a blemish on the man’s disciplinary record. Each“badge” was a single chevron stripe worn on the left cuff, point uppermost (pointing toward the elbow).

There's quite a bit about the badge on the forum. Have a search.

Thanks very much I will have a browse.
