Hello everybody
I am making a research about British Armed Forces ID cards before MOD 90 and design evolution of MOD 90 (not including current form). Specifically I am looking for help regarding:
- ID cards issued by each branch from the end of WWII to the introduction of MOD 90
- evolution of such forms of identification for each branch through the decades until MOD 90.
- ownership over reviews of such documents. I am asking if the decisions about forms' changes are taken at branch level or MOD level. In such last case, changes would occurr simultaneously and would be standardized for all branches.
I found some information online about the Geneva Convention card (F/Ident/189) and some Army IDs.
Regarding RAF, all I know is that there were 2 versions of form 1250, but that's WWII stuff. No idea about what comes after. No idea about RN documents as well.
Also if possible and does not violate opsec, I am looking for information about variations of MOD 90, before its actual design. I figured out that (regarding Army MOD 90) at least 2 variations occurred after its introduction: the first one introduces the magnetic strip, second one partially changes text on backside. Also there are minor variations on front side. No idea about evolution of RAF and RN forms.
photos and information are welcomed, both here or via message. Thanks for the help!
