Card, Identification, Medical, 2nd Type, Cpt. William Motel, 1945
Rare genuine WWII US War Departement identification card for medical personnel, of the plasticised type introduced in 1944 to supersede the former cardboard version.
Adopted in 1942, this card was to be issued in accordance with instructions of the 1929 Geneva Convention, which required that protected military and civilian personnel should carry an official document to be recognized as non-fighting personnel.
In very good overall condition, the present card was issued to Captain William G. Motel, ASN O-518477, on February 15, 1945.
William Goodrich Motel was born on June 20, 1912 in Chicago, Illinois. He passed away on December 9, 1958.
