History
During World War II, American servicemen were granted leave (“furlough”) after extended service or training periods. These furlough passes were essential military documents, proving that a soldier had permission to be absent and specifying their unit and leave duration. Small in size but significant in meaning, they were part of everyday military life, both at home and overseas.
