Received from my eldest sister, a "ID tag" that my Dad apparently wore as a Naval officer.
The tad is an "oval shape" formatted as:
First Name
Middle Name
Last Name
Rank "Ensign"
"T" 8/42
"USNR" "B" [assumed Blood type]
It is of steel material, [Dim., 1.5 lg 1.25 wide, two hole on the 1.5 length],lightly rusty and may have a "finger print" from handling?
Knows station were: Boston Harbor, N.Y.C.. harbor, James River Mine Warfare, Charlestown, Aruba, & Panama Canal Zone.
it has a Silver chain looped thru holes with held together with lead seal, and a Catholic cross [with the note for calling a Priest".
There was a family friend who owned a Jewelry store, so it maybe a extra ID??
thanks for responses.
