Help with a dog tag...

[RodneyO]

Hi All,
Please, can anyone tell me what does "1 neu" means on a dog tag? I used iGoogle Translate and it came out "1 new"!!.......fake dog tag?

The tag is stamped:
13./Gren. Rgt. 974
1 neu O

Thank you,
Rodney

Hello,

It's nothing wrong with this ID tag. Neu means simply "new" - the unit was formed again with the same number after its destruction during combat.

Hi All,
Just notice that the dog tag doesn't have the soldiers identification number or is "1 neu" his new id number, 1?

Thank you,
