National Registration Identity Card for Margaret S Buchanan, 26 Loudoun Street, Mauchline
National Identity Card for Margaret Buchanan. ID cards were
introduced during the War in the National Registration Act 1939.
Everyone, includig children, had to carry one at all times to show
who they were and where they lived. This was so that if a household
were separated during a bombing or other attack, they could be
identified, and if possible, reunited. It was mandatory to
carry an ID card until 1952 - seven years after the end of
WWII.
