Ww2 occupation money

[Little Jo]

Hi Mike and Tony

Thank you both for getting back to me with your information, which to me sound like the correct answer. I had many years ago seen some Japanese invasion money, Like Mike's Shilling note photo. I also saw one with Dutch Guilder on it, most probably used for Indonesian occupation.

I did think the note was Japanese and maybe used by occupation forces in Japan after the end of WW2. It was the Boozer Committee and names that got me interested and I love Tony's Boozer Committee senario, that is so typical "Australian".

Mike thanks for tracing the names for me that is a great start for further enquiries. I will do some enlarging of the image and use the magnifying glass to see if I can identify any other names for you. Once I have some more to go on I will post back on this forum. I would like to find out if any of the old diggers are still with us.

Cheers

Tony

Hi Mike

Richard, sorry mate I called you mike instead of Richard.

Mike, the names you checked and identified as follows:

NX191133 Holden, R, Corporal, 123 Transport Platoon
NX136344 Clarke, H O, L/Corporal, 123 Transport Platoon
NX206814 Whiting, N M, Private, 123 Transport Platoon.

These names are confirmed on the note. I think the following two found on the note could be identified and it would be interesting to see if they are also members of 123 Aust. Transport Platoon, RAASC, BCOF.

A Russell.
P Corfield.

I have been doing some checking on RAASC Transport and it appears they were usually in section or Platoon strenght. So if it was possible to identify all 5 of the names on the note as part of a Section or Platoon, then it would be easier to identify the rest of the "Boozer Committee". Possibly from the part names clearly seen on the note.

Cheers

Tony
