WWII dog tags Info.

Hi all, I found these tags in a flea market in Bologna, may you help me to understand why are there two differents adresses on them?

So here is what I found on NARA:

Is possible that this private was in the AIR FORCES? Thanks

Buon Giorno Giovanni,

I think the easiest explanation for the address difference is that the next of kin, in this case Mrs. S. Comstock, moved to another location sometime after the first set of dog tags were issued. The serviceman then probably requested another set of tags after Mrs. Comstock moved. Thus the two different address.

Ciao,

Also notice that the "T-XX" dates are different on each tag. One has "42" as the latest date, while the other has "43". This is definitely a case where the "next of kin" simply moved to a different place.
