Uk, 1919, electrician? Is that the date of the photo?
I would suggest a service (army or navy) insignia or a reservist occupation that men had to wear to avoid being called a coward or worst.

Just a hunch; would you know if your great uncle was a Freemason?

I think Thai-Vic is right. Probably something like this:

Medal-Identification

And a thread here with more info: http://raoc.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=2468480

My Grandfather, as manager of a shipyard, had a similar badge in WWII.

This brings it back to coins:

Not quite sure how this worked as it was obviously made post war.
