Identification cards?

I've been looking at id cards from ww2 but, i'm having a problem finding what id cards WACs, WASPs, ect carried, all i could find was ANCs ids. Where they issued the normal tri-fold cards or the normal medical version on the card?

 

I was wondering if anyone had ids in their collections they wouldn't mind sharing.

 

Thanks

Hi Speidy,

I was trying to find some information on women's ID cards.

 

This is the 1st type ID card of a War Correspondent:

And this is a 2nd pattern laminated ID card of a War Correspondent with information 'Noncombatants Certificate of Identity':

Here's a photograph showing a WAC purse and its content. You can see there's a 1st pattern carboard ID card.

I'll let you know if I find any other examples.

Memphis, thank you so much for the photos, that's the first tri-fold women's id i've seen. I could only find the later pattern ids. I wasn't sure if they were only issued the non-combatant ids but now I know.

 

Please do post anything else you could find.

Thanks
