About MeLawrence Slessor was a stonemason in Aberdeen. He was issued with this card, as well as his exemption certificate and badge. The card and badge were issued in 1938 as the threat of war grew more probable. This certificate was issued later to exempt Lawrence Slessor from additional duties other than that he had enrolled for in 1938 and continued to perform.
