1st Sgt CES Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted May 1, 2012 Hello --Thanks for the information---this makes sense as I found these tags in Oklahoma City during a visit to the Daughters. These must be his second issue tags if he enlisted in 1942. I know tags that start with 1 are Regular Army.Thanks Again Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
