cwnorma Posted December 29, 2014 Share #28 Posted December 29, 2014 Anybody know what these were used for? Found a lot of em in there These are 1919-1920 equipment marking tags. Each of these would have been attached to a web belt, pouch or some other piece of equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dharmacy Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #34 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the comments, Mike was a great friend and digging partner. Taken way too soon. This site is not far out of the Ft. Olgethorpe area, but all the 6th Cav stuff confirms that's where it originally came from. Here's a few more pics: US Rosettes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharmacy Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #35 Posted December 30, 2014 Some more misc buckles and attachments. The leather boot toe cap was one of the very few non-metallic or glass items that was found. Also another first aid pack, Bauer & Black. Mfg August 1918.

Dharmacy Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #36 Posted December 30, 2014 The piece with the red glass is odd. Appears to have had a pin attachment on the back. Some underwear buttons, middle one is marked "US Army" And a crusty thimble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
