I never saw any identity tags/dog tags with my Uncle Ed's medals and things, but his records state that there were NO personal effects to send home.

(How did they identify my Uncle Ed's remains then, to know it was him, for sure, I wonder?  : )

Karmen, It would be pretty much impossible to speculate as to what happened to your Uncle Ed's I.D. tags...
My uncle Clifford DOW 14-Sept-44, no personal effects were recoved either, odd as he died in hospital...Just one of things I suppose.
