Very nice set of Dog Tags.

Hello - Great tags thanks for the pics. Unfortunately, very little of a WWII US Army soldier's records are available online - unlike US Navy or Marines - there is not much you can get from NARA unless you send away for a copy of his service record. Even those don't tell you that much. From what I can see, US Army service records were not kept in as much detail as US Navy personnel records it seems. For example, I recently ordered records for a marine whose dog tags I recently purchased. Now granted he was a career marine with 30 years service but I received 750 pages of information on him! I have never seen US Army records this extensive.

 

Good luck in your search!

 

Very best,
