Chris_Baker Posted 10 July , 2003 Share Posted 10 July , 2003 Only slightly off topic! Could anyone tell me anything about 68 Battery RFA, in the period 1902-5? I believe it was always at a home station. Any snippets of interest would be great. Also, does anyone know what a 1 GC (or possibly I GC) Badge would be granted for, and what it looked like? This was given to a soldier I am studying, in 1904. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 10 July , 2003 Share Posted 10 July , 2003 Chris In 1905, 68 Battery was part of XIV Brigade RFA stationed at Woolwich. A good conduct badge was an inverted chevron worn just above the uniform cuff. Men, under the rank of Cpl, 2nd Cpl or bombadier, who enlisted prior to April 1st 1902, and did not elect to receive service pay, were granted 1d per day for each good conduct badge: One badge - 2 years service Two badges 5 years service Three badges -12 years service Four Badges - 18 years service Five badges - 23 years service Six badges - 28 years service. A soldier could receive the 4th, 5th and 6th badges 2 years earlier if he had 14 years clear of a regimental entry on his conduct sheet.
