Where do Personalized Military Dog Tags Come From?
ID tags date back as far as the civil war, when soldiers used wooden id tags to identify themselves. Later during WW1 and WW11 they were called dog tags, when the army required that soldiers used rectangular shaped aluminum plaques for identification, because they were shaped like dog tags, soldiers named them that.
Today dog tags can be made of many materials. The most traditional are made of stainless steel, aluminum or brass, but there are also designer tags made of gold, silver or a combination.
