They were secured around the neck by cotton tape (which did rot in the jungle), a leather thong, or a metal chain. Folklore has it that these colourings were to aid soldiers in remembering which tag went where: red meant blood and was to be taken, since the soldier was dead green meant grass and was to stay with the body.ĭuring the Second World War, the fibreboard discs were replaced with metal ones, which would not rot in wet conditions. The circular disc, sometimes coloured red, was used to identify the belongings of the soldier and be sent home. The octagonal disc, sometimes coloured green, was to remain with the body of the soldier to aid in identification should the body need to be exhumed. During the First World War this was increased to two fibreboard discs, one round and one octagonal. The discs were stamped with the soldier's name, service or regimental number, religion, and unit. The ordering process was easy and they really care about your order.In 1906, Australian soldiers were issued with a tin disc rather than the tape, and given orders that this was to be worn around the neck. This was a wonderful company to work with.
I did not receive a 'proof' of the tags before they made them. Delivery was about 10 days from when the order was placed (which seems reasonable to me). We ordered 5 sets of 400 tags for a total of 2000. Overall I am very happy with the dog-tags we ordered. Excellent pricing for what I ordered too! Exceptional customer service as well.Ģ day turn around for 50 tags, excellent service! My order came promptly and the quality exceeded expectations.
