WW2 Dog Tags?

[Giants77]

Hi guys as I do not usually collect American ww2 Militaria I do not know a lot and look to y’all for expertise I ended pulling these two dog tags out Of a box of hand me downs as I felt bad and finally hung them up out of respect. One of these I pulled out of my grandmas garage a long time ago and the other came out of my great aunts shed which both have passed on now. I have no clue if these are WW2, Vietnam or what. Thank you guys for any information!

I believe that WW2 issue usually have the full address of next of kin on them.

edit - only early to around 1943 then they dropped it......

Thank you Rene and Danmark that’s interesting I’m having a hard time figuring out where it’s from I’ve been trying to study the sight for dog tags but I’m having a hard time with it!

The one set is from 1961

I’ve did some research on Hodges dog tag and I’ve found some bits of information but I do not know if it’s him. But he was Killed in action on April 28th 1943 was a private in the army 9th infantry division. But I’m not sure if that’s the exact person or not.

Edit: I’ve seem to be wrong as the Hodge one does seem like a Vietnam dog tag

Thank you RH1941 are you talking about the first set or both?

The T stands for tetanus and the year he got the shot

Thank you RH1941! Do you know why the other dog tag doesn’t have that?

I believe the other its an early vietnam tag they stopped using the notch in the late 60's. It could be like I said an early vietnam tag . Its been a while since I looked up dog tags . Gary
