Never seen one like it, but there's lots of things I haven't seen. I Doubt they're military.

This above captures the facts. Early volunteer or draftee...he may have had his home address on his tags like photo shows. My father's tags do not have this and he came into service in 1942.Originally Posted by m1ashooter
This is not to say some GI did not have dog tags punched by the operator of the machine for some sentimental reasons. I know enroute to Viet Nam, I went thru pre deployment processing and got new dog tags and I infact got the machine operator to make a special tag which I have to this very day. The tag reads: If You Find My Body F*** You. Hey, I was 21 and life expectancy wasn't really good for Infantrymen where I was going.

I have my Dad's dog tags issued to him at Ft Hood in late 1942. Besides his name religion, and blood type, it has the next of kin (my grandmother) name and address on it.
