japanese occupation artifacts

[ronin]

Here are some wartime IDs, passes, etc. of my grandparents which my mom saved.


my grandpa's work pass (front and back view) dated Sept 1944


grandma's 'cedula' dated Feb 1942. She was 27 years old back then.


Japanese occupied Philippine currency


Part of a stub used by civilians to claim rationed rice, food and water from a place they simply refer to as 'neighborhood'


Red cross evacuation ID with instructions and location where to evacuate when necessary. In this document it says their evacuation location is Pandacan Railroad Station. Dated 1941.


reverse side


census form which should be posted in front of your home otherwise you pay a P100 penalty. I cant make out the date.

I wish my family had saved some of my grandfather's artifacts. I only have one existing photo of my grandparents and it was taken before the war.

Great Documents !! But , It's not a good idea to Laminate any documents , once the laminate "yellows" and starts to darken or worse cracks ...the document is lost...it's best to put them in an Archival Safe Mylar Sleeve (like a sheet protector) that it will not stick to and keep it away from Light and Humidity.

That's good info. I'll make sure I don't do that. Come to think of it I have laminated photos of my kids in my wallet. They do deteriorate.
