Okey dokes, lets see if I can give you a quick crash course in picking out WW1 era sliders as opposed to later ones.
These badges in this first lot of attachments all have what I would call a stereotypical first war slider. Can you see how they taper (get thinner towards the end), whilst generally they are just more slender (dainty looking) than later ones (easiest to see in the RMF, RMF '16 and Young Citizens)
These earlier sliders are also not unusually seen with crimp lines (see the rangers and 7th London) which are not present on later badges.
