Can you help with these medals

I wondered if anyone could help identifying what these medals were for, on the one box that the Loyal service medal came in, the cover says "The King's Badge", every precaution should be taken against loss, thus preventing the Badge falling into the hands of an unauthorized user. The other one had on the lid of the box, By Appointment of his Majesty the King, then a coat of arms, and the address of the manufacturer.
 
Loisand,
don't know what the first badge was for,
but the one on the left in 2nd pic,
was one all service men of WW2 were given
I'm pretty sure,if not Cromwell will correct me
 
This is from the link that sugarpuff and barrie gave us.

The King's Badge - a round silver badge, with the words "For Loyal Service - is to be awarded to members of the Home Guard who have been discharged through injury from war service, it is officially announced this morning.
Police and members of the Civil Defence Services are also eligible.
The badge has hitherto gone to those invalided on pension from the Armed Forces and the Merchant Navy and fishing fleets through wounds or war disablement attributable to service since September 3, 1939.
In future, officers and ratings discharged from the Merchant Navy pool because of disablement due to service, and carrying workmen's compensation or similar payments will also be eligible for the badge.
Members of the Coastguard will also be able to qualify.
