Default Military Insignia on Civilian Clothing

Badges such as the SWB, munitions badges, 'On War Service' etc, are often seen being worn on civilian clothing in old photos and postcards. Occasionally too, a soldier in civilian clothing can be seen with their regimental cap badge in the lapel of their jacket (as in the example below). However, I wonder how common it was for items such a Wound Stripes to be worn on civvies? Anyone have examples of this kind of thing to share?

With thanks,

JT.
