6. Warpocketbook Jan Dubbeldam – Sliedrecht
Below you can see the warpocketbook of Jan Dubbeldam. Jan was born on 20 October 1909 in Sliedrecht. His parents were Wouter Dubbeldam and Martijntje Weggers. Jan worked as a merchant (manufacturer). On 20 March 1929, Jan was called up as a regular conscript of the 1929 draft from Sliedrecht. He was assigned to the 6th Infantry Regiment. On 3 September 1929, he was granted Extended Leave. On 11 September 1933, he returned for a refresher exercise, after which he went back on extended leave on 23 September. On 11 April 1939, he returned again, presumably due to pre‑mobilisation. On 26 May and 10 June 1939, he was again granted extended leave, and he returned on 29 August 1939 due to the general mobilisation.
Jan first served near Alkmaar, then in Delft, and at the end of 1939 he was sent to Leusden to guard the Bruine Burgersluis. He came through the May Days unharmed.
This booklet does not include an identification tag. However, it does contain a blood group card. Jan had blood group A.
