Civilian identity disc : Miss J M Terkelsen

The disc has a small hole drilled near an edge to thread a small chain or strap through. Stamped into the face of the disc is 'J.M. TERKELSEN / CARE / L. DON / GRACEVILLE'.

Identity disc made by Leonard Don in the Queensland Railways workshop, for Joyce Margaret Terkelsen, the great-grand-daughter of his mother-in-law, Isabella Frazier, during the Second World War.

Don was working with Queensland state railways and lived near the railway station at Graceville, Brisbane with his wife Irene. Isabella, her grand-daughter, Thelma and Thelma's daughter Joyce, also lived with the Dons

Leonard and Irene's only son, Leonard Percival Lloyd Don had enlisted in the Army on 12 August 1941 and was living away from the family.

Don feared the railways might be a target of Japanese bombing raids. He made three identification discs, this one for Thelma and the other two for Isabella and Joyce, in the Queensland Railways workshop.
