Taj Patel Posted November 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2021 Dear Militaria Collectors, Hey guys hope you are well. I got this dog tag at a militaria show in Illinois and can’t find anything on the soldier. I would appreciate any help with this research. Harold Johnson 36797656 Blood Type A Protestant Tetanus shot: T43-44 Thanks, Taj Patel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlistment records are incomplete, hence why you couldn't find the record with correct asn. Taj your best bet is to look at locals who are of military age with that name on findagrave and then try and dig into each. That's a tall order for a common name though, you'll never be certain you have the right guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
