A nice example of a ww1 French soldiers dog tag
The French Modele 1881 tag was a small aluminium or steel oval approximately 3cm by 2cm in size with one hole for attachment of the neck cord. Information stamped upon the disc included (on the obverse) the soldier's surname and first name along with his "class" year (ie the year in which he became eligible for compulsory military service). On the reverse was to be found his military district (as related to place of birth, not necessarily that of residence) and his matricule number,
been after a decent French 1 for ages now :)
