Military Dog Tags

 

when vintage military dog tags are discovered

what are some of the best ways to identify the original owner??

(obviously we have the name - but whats the best way to ensure we know the true identity of the original owner - and thus can tag them in FS FT? )

I went to Fold3.com and selected WWII and entered his name as shown on the dog tag. The 2nd "hit" was his draft registration with the exact same address printed on the dog tag itself: https://www.fold3.com/image/674724672?terms=war,bernard,bolten,ii,world It shows he was a medical doctor, his birth date, his wife's name and even has his signature!
