1st Ww Us Relic / Identification Help Needed


Recommended Posts


Yep it's a WW1 "Dog Tag".

"LEUT" stands for Lieutenant so he was an officer.

I think 2 "F H" stands for "Field Hospital", so it would be Massachusetts 2nd Field Hospital company. Could have been a medic, since he was an officer, maybe a doctor.

Dug a similar one behind my house last spring.

'NG' may be 'National Guard' (so this possibly was a member of a Massachusetts National Guard unit).  Here's a link to WWI military abbreviations.

Name appears to be William S. S___Y.  Scully?  (That's a real WAG.  Might be more letters in the last name than just 6.)

This tag is obviously very crudely made, but maybe that is what they used during WWI.

Pretty cool find with lots of history.  Finding who that person is might be difficult, IDK....  Genealogy is huge in this internet age.  I wouldn't be surprised if that person's decendents (or other relatives) would be interested in this.
