Please follow the link below and look at two items I found recently. I would sincerely appreciate any info. I believe one of the items to be a ID tag of some sort, but I am not very knowlegable in WW2 militaria. Thanks to all. http://www.treasurenet.com/whites/forum/messages/1168978.shtml
These are certainly French military dogtags - Tunisia was 'owned' by France until the 1950's. As to the exact meaning of the markings, I'm afraid I do not know. Maybe one of our other members can help ?
Tha Anchor cypher with the winged bomb is a Kriegsmarine Artillery Personnel's cypher showing what his trade is. These cyphers go only on Shoulderboards. The other items look like ID tags--but I dont know what country they are from--Martin is most likely correct on them. Hope this helps. [ 06. January 2003, 05:42 PM: Message edited by: C.Evans ]
Little bit more research on the 'dogtag'. Definitely French, and it forms part of a bracelet ( the metal links are missing ). I believe this style was peculiar to French forces in both wars - being worn around the wrist instead of around the neck as favoured by most other Nations. This isn't really my 'area' so can't give you more than this....
