Hi all, Please can anyone give me any information about National Identity cards issued during WW2? I have the cards for both of my paternal grandparents and the information on them has left me with more questions than answers! Did all address changes have to be recorded on the cards? Do the date stamps refer to the date that the National Registration Office was actually informed of the change of address or was it when the move took place - or was that always done on the same day? Also is there any relevance to the number issued - I am referring to the number written on the inside of the card next to the name, not the printed number on the back. (I have NIRC 945 & NHA 4108012) and the class code? (Both Class A). Also, under what circumstances would the cards be stamped on the back - It is an octagonal shape stamp with a crown in the centre and the letter N on the left side, R on the right, and MF underneath. I'm guessing the N and R are for National Registration? Thanks in advance, Ailsa
