Need help with grounddug Officer bracelet probably K.I.A.

[Ernst]

Some time ago I found this bracelet while digging on a ww2 battlefield.

A few weeks ago I started doing research but I can,t find anything about this soldier.

I found the bracelet near a very small temporary US grave site so I believe this officer was killed in action.

 

I checked NARA and the ABMC website but found nothing.

 

Can you guys help me out? I would really appreciate it!

I've edited the photos into the post for you, please refrain from using photobucket in the future

Who, Thanks! I,ve been searching for days but this is the first thing I read about this soldier.

Bracelet definitely belonged to the same soldier Beast linked to. Here is his PA burial card. ASN matches the one on the bracelet.

Nice! Thanks for the help!

 

This is a big surprise. I found some dogtags in the burnpitt/trashpitt also and they were all from soldiers who died in ww2 so i didn,t expect this.

We can only wonder how this bracelet got there.

 

Thanks again!
