"From the Civil War and all ready for someone to have their name and regiment engraved on the reverse, punch out the hole and wear it in battle. "
At one Civil War reenactment some years ago I saw one enterprising young man doing a thriving business making 'dog tags' for reenactors, sitting next to a section of log banging away with a hammer and stamps onto metal machine tags.
Prior to many engagements, soldiers would pin their name and family information inside their shell jacket.....just in case.
