The prisoner tag is stamped with Ernest Mancoba's prisoner number, which according to his letters from internment and ID card from the internment period, is 870 or 870/111, where 111 indicates the Stalag (abbreviation for Stammlager [prisoner of war camp]) camp number. The St. Denis camp also appears as Stalag 122. Ernest Mancoba was also detained in the Drancy camp, as correspondence from 1941 attests to.
The metal plaque was found in an envelope inscribed "Ernest MANCOBA Plaque d'Identité Camp de DRANCY 1942-43," a dating that does not match, with the dating and sender address on Ernest Mancoba's letters from the internment camps, which are preserved in the Ferlov Mancoba archive.
