RMLI Identity Disk (Believe its Great War)

[Rayessex]

Good evening,

This ID Disc was found under floorboards during a Public House rebuild. I understand all the writing and what it means, just curious as to when this Number would have been issued. I also believe it dates from the Great War, if not, sorry and please delete.

Many Thanks,

Ray.

Thank you, Charlie,

That's a great Help. I understand the rest of it but couldn't find a number issue date. Pleased it's of the great war period though.

Many Thanks.

Once again, Many Thanks.

Yes, I think I will download it.
