War pocket books and Identification tags of the "Korps Pontonniers and Torpedisten"

The war pocketbook was issued to every military personnel. Along with it, the soldier was also given an identification tag to wear around the neck. The front of the identification tag displayed the birthplace, birth date, and conscription number of the soldier, while the back showed their name. The pocketbook contained additional information. On the first page of the pocketbook, there were general details about the soldier and their parents. The second page included some personal information of the soldier, such as clothing sizes, blood type, and any vaccinations. Page three provided space for notes about injuries, death, and burial location. Pages 4 to 51 contained regulations regarding the rights and obligations of the soldier when wounded, captured as a prisoner of war, or employed by an enemy power. Following that, there were pages with templates for recording a will. Finally, at the back of the pocketbook, there were message cards concerning injured, sick, or deceased individuals from the Royal Army in a state of war. These were to be filled out and sent to the information bureau of the Red Cross. If the soldier were to fall in combat, the pocketbook and identification tag would be collected by the Red Cross for processing, burial, and potential repatriation of the fallen.
