MEN OF NAVY WEAR TAGS.
Method of Identification Provided
Similar to That of Army,

Millions of soldiers in the United
States Army wore metal identification
tags during the war. but few civilians
know that the men Of the Navy who
served in foreign waters wore similar
tags. The tags used in the Navy
were invented by j. H. Taylor. head
of the Identification bureau of the
Navy Department, and were made of
monel metal. On the face Of the tag
is inscribed the name Of the officer or
enlisted man. his rank, date Of enlict-
ment or appointment and date of
birth. On the edge of the opposite
side of the tag the rolled impression
of the right index finger is placed on
the tag will printers ink. These tags
either are suspended from the neck
or attached to the wrist with moI-el
chain or wire and have been found to
be of great value in identifying Off
GERS and men in case of accident.
Salt water will not corrode the tags
and they melt only at about 1850 de-
grees Fahrenheit, so that it practi-
cally is impossible to destroy them.
