Tonomachi Posted April 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 10, 2019 I picked these dog tags up at the flea market last weekend for 2 dollars. I didn't notice the religious medallion until I got them back home and was looking up the name. Ernest A. Smeya was born in 1894 and died in Pacific Grove, California in 1965. I couldn't locate him in NARA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted April 10, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2019 Tetanus shot and tetanus toxoid in 1943, Blood type B, Protestant is the other information on there. That style dates to after March of 1944 according to this site: https://www.med-dept.com/articles/u-s-army-ww2-dog-tags/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
