Japanese armband

Hello all,

Amongst the legacy of my grandparents, I found a large sea chest containing hundreds of letters, documents, passports, his military uniform, helmet, cap etc.
Everything is from the period 1939 to 1946 when my grandparents with their son (my father) lived in Indonesia.

When war broke out my grandfather, a KNIL lieutenant was under arms. He fought for a few days but was taken prisoner and taken to a military camp. My grandmother and her son were taken to a civilian camp, for 5 years and they only just survived. They have never talked about it but the story of the sewing machine that all survived and went back to the Netherlands on the boat.

At the beginning of the camp in Bandung had to wear a red armband to the camp and to be allowed. On this bracelet is a text. Who knows what it says?

I also included a picture of this military pasport and 1st LT shoulderboards.

A lot more can be seen here :

Jos

2011 Carboot finds Etc

I thought last year that I should start a thread of my finds for one year, but never did it, so I will post here what I find through this year from car boots and local auctions etc.
Yesterday was the start of my years first finds, it’s normally quiet this time of year, but my local village auction turned up the following. They are a 1936 Luger holster attached to a Sam Brown belt and a Keigsmarine sailors souvenir pillow cover, made from Naval Tallies and qualification badges, both items submitted by a lady who lives in the village. Also bought a small box of British Army badges, again from the same source.
Till the next find ?
Regards Gary
