RAF identity card of Lawrence Richard Fears, RAF Form 1250 (R), 22 June 1944

This Royal Air Force Form 1250 Identity Card belonged to Squadron Leader Lawrence Richard Fears.

Following their enlistment, all members of the Royal Air Force, Women’s Auxiliary Air Force and Dominion air forces (Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa) received a photographic identity card, which they had to carry with them at all times. Few examples of identity cards survive in archival collections since they were typically destroyed after personnel died or ceased to be a member of the service.
