Johan Willaert Posted August 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2007 Can anyone tell me more about the USMC dogtag with the following info: 'Name'* L. JAC. 4501412 PROT. BL. GR. 0 The *Name has been left out for privacy reasons... I believe it could have been issued to a Dutch volunteer who trained with the USMC in 1945..... What does the Serial Number tell us? I assume the Prot stands for the religion.. What does the BL.GR.0 mean? Thanks, JOhan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahcable Posted August 5, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Johan, That service number is far too large in range to be a WW2 or even Korean War USMC number but you may be right on the Dutch Marine angle. BL. GR. O means he was blood type O. Good luck on this one. Cheers, Jeremiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted August 5, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2007 There's a history of USMC dog tags at http://mujweb.atlas.cz/kultura/usmc/tagsE.htm and I could not find anything there which matched the style of your tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Robinson Posted August 5, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 5, 2007 Service number is way too large. I was given 23xxxxx in the Summer of '67. Here's a pic of a typical wartime USMC dogtag. Appears to be brass plated steel. Early ones had thumbprint on reverse side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
