A great shame indeed Jersey34 as these are not easy to find.

They certainly are not around like they used to be, and seeing examples that have been ruined is infuriating to say the least. I have a collection of them, and always pick them up when they come along.

You sure do have a large collection of them! How many residents were on the island during the occupation?
Personally, I enjoy this type of item in the collection. It seems to speak across the decades about the misery and survival that was World War Two.
Very nice!

I don't have an exact fire to hand but around 40,000 people I would say from memory, but only those over 16 had a photo i/d card. I have a samall collection of cards and this has taken nearly 40 years to collect. I started out wanting a male and a female card for each of the 12 Parishes. I am one card short of that goal, so the seach goes on.

Some people....sheesh! Apparently, they didn't think it was "Nazi enough" and just Had to go ruin it with a ridiculous stamp. There should be laws against this sort of idiocy...

Yes rather silly
I could understand the mentality if it were a reproduction or a fake being masqueraded as original, but an original item ruined with a fake stamp is just plane idiotic

I have a few identity cards, or at least, I thought they were identity cards but I am not sure after a closer look. Here are a few pics of one of them:

Note the wording on the rear - are these fake/souvenirs?!

snowmanjoe, what you have are printed copies taken from original identity cards. They are not the real thing but are given out to those who visit the Jersey War Tunnels. Originals are yellow in colour and the photo is stapled to the card as opposed to being pard of the card.
Hope this helps.

Indeed
I have a few myself I’ve kept after visiting the tunnels
