Jennens & Co London Button

[Connan]

Hey there,
I found this old button the other day.
Can anyone help in identifying what type of uniform it may have off?
May or may not be a military button.
It's about 7mm wide.
Cheers Co

Does the button rear say "Jennens and Co"?

There's some interesting stuff at the link below but I can't see a similar design.

I thought Jennens & Co were between 1832 to 1912.
However I see an article saying the button is from WW1 from a adjutant General department. Whatever that means.

This site shows them running to 1924.
