Martygraw Posted January 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2020 I recently picked up these tags belonging to a Pvt. Raymond E. Ayers, a prisoner in Stalag VII-A. The tags came with a January 20, 1945, letter from Pvt. Ayers to his family back home in Kansas. I haven't been able to find much information online about the private, other than his listing in the National Archives' enlistment records. Any additional information would be most appreciated.

Jcarlson Posted February 19, 2023 Share #8 Posted February 19, 2023 I by complete chance came across this forum earlier today. I know that this posy is old, but I am hoping to get in contact with you. Raymond Ayers was my great uncle and I would love to visit with you more about his story and these items that you have.
