Hi everyone, I’m trying to find out what these two tags are. I thought the A prefix was WAC but I’m not sure and I don’t know anything about the red tag. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply’s. Would the AO prefix be post ww2? I haven’t seen it before so I’m not sure.

This red-colored military dog tag is called an emergency medical dog tag. Typically, Soldiers wearing dog tags like these have been diagnosed with medical issues that might affect them during service.
