| 背面描述 | A standing British soldier in full First World War field uniform is depicted in the foreground to the right, with four fellow soldiers rendered in lower relief in the background to the left, evoking a scene of remembrance and military camaraderie. The emotive inscription, drawn from Laurence Binyon's 'For the Fallen', arcs above the composition. The centenary dates 1914-1918 and the denomination £10 appear at the base of the design, completing the memorial composition engraved by Mike Guilfoyle. |

Issued to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, this coin reflects Guernsey's particular relationship with that conflict — the island raised the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry, which suffered catastrophic losses at Cambrai and Passchendaele. Guernsey itself, as a Crown dependency rather than part of the United Kingdom, had no legal obligation to participate, yet voluntary enlistment was substantial relative to the island's population of roughly 40,000.
The Royal Guernsey Light Infantry was not formed until 1916, drawn largely from men who had already served in other British regiments.
