English Military Button?

[Windigo]

Found a button in the bush today.

Any ideas on history? I know its an english coat of arms.

Nothing special?

I can make out Smith-birwinchaw. I think...

The rest is unintelligble.

It should actually say "Smith & Wright Limited, Birmingham", or possibly "Smith Kemp & Wright, Birmingham". They were military ornament manufacturers base in Birmingham, UK, dating back to 1839 through to 1972.

It is a general service button

More likely around WW 1 era and Duck is correct with an English General Service. Many were worn before the troops reached their parent regiments.
