Default What are these?!

Hi,

My grandfather had a bunch of medals which I understand what they were. He also had a number of items ar per attached image pre war, during the war and post war. Most also have a 6 digit number on the back....
Any ideas?

I think that might be a committee member badge for a club or something like that, given to members to show that they are serving or have served in that function.
Cheers,
Alex

Better than my original answer was going to be something along the lines of..... it's a dated thing-a-ma-jiggy, that attaches to the what-cha-ma-call-it, with a date on it.
