ww11idcard

This could bring back some memories to Malltraeth Residents who are 60 plus-
Identity cards were issued after the National Registration Census had recorded
particulars of every citizen in the country in September 1939. This was undertaken
ahead of, and instead of the scheduled Census which was to be held in 1941.
The card contained the name, address and personal registration number, and
for adults,a signature, and was used as the basis for national conscription and
for the issue of ration books. The cards for adults were blue in colour, and as
above for all children under the age of 16 years old. They had to be carried at
all times and produced to a Police Officer in uniform or a member of the Home
Guard on duty. Failure to do so was a criminal offence under the Emergency
Powers(Defence) Bill and punishable in the courts.
