Description

The special Sergent Grey Wilson ID tag is an essential accessory for your bear collection. Add this miniature replica 1914 AIF identity disc to your special Sergent Wilson Great Coat Bear for added detail.

The metal ID Disc worn by members of the Australian Imperial Forces was designed to assist in the identification of seriously wounded or dead soldiers. The discs were stamped with the soldier's name, regimental number, religion, and unit. The use of identity discs for AIF members was governed under AIF Order No. 2 issued by Brig. Gen W.T. Bridges, on 26th August 1914. The first discs worn by the AIF were created aboard the troop transports carrying the first contingent of Australian and New Zealand troops to war. Each transport was issued with blank discs, a hammer and a metal stamp kit.

Please note that there is a limit of one free identity disc per bear. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to enhance your bear collection with the Sergent Grey Wilson ID tag. Order now and experience the joy and pride of owning a piece of military history.
