Just been looking through our documents and found identity cards for myself and my sister. Mine was issued in 1941 (the year I was born) and has the information "The identity card of a child should be kept by the parent or guardian....." It has also had two pieces of paper pasted on to record changes of address. |

I was told that I had the cradle type gas mask. Evidently somebody had to pump it with a foot pump. I wonder what happened to it? I'd love to have it. Never heard of the identity cards though. |

I was just a twinkle in my dad's eye in WW2. Why did he have one dated from May, 1946 then? |

If you were around in WW2 you would have had a card issued, I had two more siblings arrive in during the War and each of them were issued with ID cards an Gas masks ,children had the mickey mouse type ones and babies had a cradle type thing that they were zipped into |

Does that mean I could have one, I wonder. How old do you have to be? |

I have my late father's National Registration Identity Card. It's pale blue with the registration number as 3 letters BUA followed by 7 numbers (the last of which is 2 and he was the second born). It has 4 National Registration Stamps on it after different addresses from May, 1946 to September, 1950. Is this the same as that to which you refer? |

I was born in 1944 and still have mine. I am sure that there will be lots of others, although most will be issued at birth, after 1939. |
