    Hello dear Gentlemen!
    After the chain bracelet digged recently(http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/searching-someone-military-genealogy/38856-relics-sent-back-states-64-years-after.html),a relative of mine digged up this beautifully wheathered pair of dog tag+a sterling chain.
    This man appears to be an officer,imo,but ,as you are quite much more pro than me could you give a piece of help to a poor frog???Tracing an officer seems to be quite hard stuff...(especially for a guy like me!)
    Thank you very much!
    (all my apologizes if this is not the right sub-forum to post such a question!)

    Sebfrench76,

    You might consider posting this at WW2F.com. It has a larger US contingent and we have helped with several of these by finding either the soldier or his family.

    The forum is having a problem right now, but that should be resolved by next week.

    Well, it's a third type dog tag, officially used from July 1943-March 1944. I think you are right he was an officer. He had his tetanus shot in 1944. That's all I can tell you, unfortunately. Doc
