Anyone know what this medal is?

Shown against a £1 coin for size comparison.

The inscription is:

 

For King and Empire

Services Rendered

 

On the back is the serial No. 330017

 

I have a feeling it is a civilian medal from WW2.

Looks like the Silver War Badge found by Googling. See here.

Thanks Paul_D, spot on.

 

Been there, but missed it.

 

Just need to find out who it was issued to, so that I can return it to the family concerned.

http://www.1914-1918.net/silver_badge.htm looked promising but the link to find who was awarded a specific numbered badge is broken.
