Father and son tags?  I think the WWII serial number beginning with the number 3 indicates a draftee.  I think WWI veterans were past the draft age.

Actually the same guy.  He was in the 108th Ambulance Company (with the 27th Division) in WWI, and was drafted for WWII in 1942 - received a new service number then. Looks like he got two "free" trips to Europe.
