I think Chipper and Peter have the answer ... just came across this in the Western Mail - Saturday 19 December 1914: "BADGES FOR THE REJECTED The badges for those who have failed to pass the medical test, which a prominent Cardiff gentlemen has presented, have arrived at the Glamorgan headquarters, and at this and the sub-stations will be given to men who are rejected. They are neat metal badges about the size of a sovereign, surmounted by a Crown, and inscribed in letters of gold over a red and white background are the words, "Volunteer, 1914."
