The only tags I've ever seen with two holes are Canadian...I came acrossed my father's WW II dog tags. One has two holes in it, the other has only one. My Dad is not alive to ask. I would appreciate it if someone who really knows would tell me how they were worn.
Thanks,
Doug
Yeah that ^. Although my brother told me once that he (and a bunch of others) taped theirs together to keep them from making noise when they were trying to stay hidden.One dog tag was worn on a long chain around your neck. The other dog tag was on a shorter chain, and hung onto the longer chain.

Dunno if that's valid. It's a 50/50 shot at BS.
Never heard anything like that before...I don't know unless he inter-laced one in a boot or something else .
Hmmm...maybe tape was the rubber "gasket" prototype...circa 1972.Nowadays they make rubber "gaskets" to wrap around them so they don't make noise .

He told you wrong.lol Its on the tag to hold it center to line the punches up. SOunds good thoughI have been told that the notch was a contour of one of your teeth to help in identification. I was told that by a Korean Navy vet.
Neat find. It's always nice to have a piece of family history that you can hold and wear. I have my Grandfather's WWII Marine dog tags from Okinawa. However, his are very delicate and cannot be messed with much. His original tags were blown off of him during an attack so while recovering from his injuries he made these from a c-ration can and some twine so he could get back into the fight. Only to be wounded a second time. Carved his serial number with his K-Bar.I came acrossed my father's WW II dog tags. One has two holes in it, the other has only one. My Dad is not alive to ask.
