You have some great passports Neil. This guy might have been a spy. Start of WWII was only six months away. Japan already had their sights on the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) in 1939. So many possible story lines. Jay

Very nice. There was one Generalkonsulat at Batavia and further consulates
at: Makassar, Medan, Samarang and Surabaja (according a 1938-list). And
Padang of course. Rare anyway!
