Dear colleagues ,

 

I live in Belgium and I found an identification tag by chance and I would like to get help to find out a little more about who it was.

His name is ADAMS ARENCCE and the back number is 148941 or 148944

 

any suggestion is welcome

This is a World War I ID or "dog" tag. I'd suggest that you post it there or in the research area for assistance on the former owner.

 

Best Regards,

 

Allan

The name is probably Lawrence Adams, or Adam S Lawrence.  I could find no one on transports with a similar service number.  I also suspect there is a digit obscured at the end under corrosion.  148941x

I could try to clean it a little more but I'm afraid of damaging it.

the final number is 4.  148944

Extraño. Las etiquetas de la Primera Guerra Mundial eran de aluminio, esta está oxidada y no veo un agujero para el cordón del cuello. 

If it is made of aluminum and you cannot see the hole because it is covered with sand and sediment

Perhaps the dogtag you have was discarded because the incorrect service number or name was stamped on it.

It's also very strange because I can read a 4, but if it were one, why doesn't anyone with that name appear?

Quizás la placa de identificación que tiene se descartó porque se le estampó el número o nombre de servicio incorrecto.

 

Factura

A friend told me the same thing that I was sure it was an incorrect dogtag and that it was discarded
