The originals were designed so that both disks had the same information, the black hexagonal disk would be left with the casualty, and the red circular disk would be removed and returned to HQ for recording purposes.
These disks were originally hand stamped with the individual's surname, initial, service number and abbreviated religion. Officers had their rank instead of the service number.
Sometimes an abbreviated version of the regiment name was included (RE - Royal Engineers, 7DLI - 7th Durham Light Infantry, etc). The red disk is 35mm diameter the irregular octagon dark disk is 33mm x 40mm and the neck string is approximately 125cm.
