Hello Luke, The good conduct badge was an inverted rank chevron, worn on the lower left sleeve. It was awarded for a number of years good service. One chevron was for at least a couple of years trouble free service. (IIRC "trouble free" meant no record in the battalion / regimental discipline records for the time period.) The sources vary the time required, some say 2, some 4 years of undetected crime. And, if I recall, wartime service halved the requirement? More chevrons could be awarded for additional periods of service.
For a discussion in relation to WW1, see this thread on the CEFSG forum: http://www.cefresearch.com/phpBB2/vi...tripe&start=30 |
