This shows Jim’s’ Regimental Number, Religion (Methodist) with name and Initials. The reverse will show Blood Group. This circular ID Disc would be taken from a man who had been killed and sent to his Regimental Pay and Records Office for his Service Record to be closed. In the Royal Marines that would be entered as: “Discharged-Dead”, all hand written back then. A second Disc (different shape and colour) would be buried with the man for later identification and proper burial
