all I would add is that the "drab" backed version has a pretty good pedigree for being worn in the Great War .......... not to the exclusion of the black version.
These Geneva Cross badges are a nuisance, both as badges and as armbands, because there appears to be anarchy in the wearing of them: both together, one arm, or two, or none. There are also well-authenticated photos showing non-entitled men wearing them, typically those few non-RAMC men helping out at the Regimental Aid Post.
