Here's an early WWII pair of dog tags I picked up this weekend...

A neat old pair for $3.00.

 

This must have been an older soldier as his serial number is 7 digits. This particular serial number block was authorized in 1919. Also strange in that he has two different spellings of his last name!

Interesting. Wussow is a German name. Maybe he wanted his name to be a little less German sounding with the alternate spelling.

No record of him in the National Archives Database, but it is missing about 1/3 of Army WWII enlistment records.

 

 

His service # is a pre-war regular Army one, so it could easily not be in the enlistment records.
