awmartin Posted May 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 2, 2020 I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about this dog tag. The writing on it lo "Pillsbury, WM(?)C 700-54-73 USN. O T11-43". I tried to research this, although since there isn't too much information on this I haven't been successful. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you.
