Richmond,

That was really interesting. Like Brett, I had not seen one of those before.

Do you know when the identify cards were issued?

With thanks again

Thanks , well as the principal language is Afrikaans , it must be from either the 1st or 2nd ABW but exactly when they were issued I have no idea. This is the only one I have ever seen .

Well yes it is a Red Cross card , but it is an identity card issued by them so that if you are killed wounded or taken prisoner by the British , they have a record of who you are and where to send information to.
