Being an ex Australian soldier of 20 years I have a keen interest in military history. Yesterday (11 June 2012) we stopped off at the Cham Musuem in Danang, during the tour of the museum I noticed a small pile of dog tags sitting beside some old Zippo lighters in the bottom of a souvenir case. A closer look revealed that most were unreadable or belonged to SVNA personnel of the Vietnam conflict. I did however get two tags which are both in a bad condition but are good enough to be able to determine the names and other details associated with their owners. How can I track down these personnel? We are currently at Hoian and are heading onto Na Trang later this week and onto the old Australian Task Force stomping grounds off Vung Tau and Nui Dat next week. The email address I have provided is one that my wife has set up while we are travelling. If you cannot respond to me before 22 June 2012, you can get me on my email address in Australia which is: jandrbell@internode.on.net I look forward to any reply. I have emailed francescacumero@yahoo.com with the same information above. regards Jimmy Bell Myself and my family are currently in Vietnam on holidays from Australia.

I would really love to get them back if they are ever found. Thanks, David Baugh My dog tags were lost in 1968, probably somewhere around Camp Evans in I Corp when I was evaced out.

Write me at francesca@ww2tags.org. Also, to the web master, you might want to remove the number under Alfred's name. He's most likely still living and that's his SS#. They used the Social Security numbers for serial numbers on the tags. Norman,

Would anyone like Jane Fonda, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama, or Rush Limbaugh's real authentic dog tags? There are jars of them all up and down Le Loi in Saigon, that seemingly fill the next day, once the tourists purchase them. Come on people they are fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. They've been doing this for years to tourists. Wise up??? Ok, I'm in vietnam again.
