After the Battle of Waterloo was the first time a medal was given to everyone who took part. Medals and a variety of items were passed round, including khaki armbands which were worn by persons not in uniform who were engaged in other activities such as farmers, business owners, but later on they may have been called up. This prevented you from receiving a white feather if you were not in uniform. Special badges were given to those who were invalided out, to wear if they did not have an obvious injury.
