Identity discs - WW II Canadian for K53153 Larry Dixon, pair "K53153 R L DIXON C E [Church of England] CDN [Canadian]" Cpl R.L. (Larry) Dixon, K53153 served in the Seaforths from 1 December, 1943 to 31 May, 1945 in Italy and Holland. The status of the identity discs remained virtually unchanged until World War 2 when Routine Order #29 for the Canadian Army Active Service Force outlined the procedure to be used. This procedure called for the discs to be issued by the local Militia District (in this case #11 (BC) with the "K" service number prefix)and that they be in the possession of the men and officers before they left the District to proceed overseas. The style of the discs was unchanged - there were still two discs, one red, one green. RO 29 called for the stamping to be in straight lines across the discs, except in cases of lengthy names which could be "stamped in other than a straight line." Once again members of the Canadian Army were identified as 'CANADIANS' [CDN] on the discs. By the end of the war the number of religions which could be included on the disc greatly increased. The Muslim faith was not one of them. It was included under "Other Denominations - OD".
