I wonder if it is something similar to a "sweetheart badge" normally worn by girlfriends (and female relatives) to show their solidarity with the serving soldiers. Jabez may be wearing a Northamptonshire Regiment styled one to show that he had a son serving?

Not a Silver War Badge. They were wider and worn on the right lapel.

Do you have any information on Ernest's military career?
