Norman Cliff's pass in Chefoo in 1942
Norman Cliff's visa in Chefoo in 1942
Norman Cliff's Weihsien badge
The Chinese copy of a pass sent out by the then British Consul of Chefoo on 9/10/37 warning all British subjects of the possibility of a Japanese invasion, and how to be ready for it. In fact the Japanese only arrived in Feb. 1938, and came without any resistance.
The Chinese characters are a translation of the English message. These two items were recently sent to me by Tony Railton in New Zealand.
