This coming January, I will be setting off to explore a few battlefields over the course of 3 weeks. I am hitting Manila, Peleliu, Guam, Saipan, and Tinian. Along with general exploration, I am hoping to do some dog tag research confirming at least in part what kind of dog tag stamp styles were used on each of these islands. I have my thoughts on the styles of tags for most of the places (too many styles for the PI, imo) I am going to, but it would be really good to get a few examples in hand to study while I am there. If anyone is willing to forward to me their collector contacts in any of these locations who would be willing to share their dog tag examples with me, I would really appreciate it. Probably a shot in the dark, but I wanted to ask. Also, if you have any burning questions about the battlefields and want me to look out for specific things while I am there, like "Did the Japanese utilize retractable armored cave doors on Peleliu?" I am happy to keep an eye open. Feel free to PM me if you have contact guidance or questions.
Thanks!
Tom
