WW1 Canadian CEF RCD Dragoons Officer’s Dog Tag Grouping

This WW1 Canadian CEF RCD Dragoons Officer’s Dog Tag Grouping comprises original identification tags issued to an officer serving with the Royal Canadian Dragoons (RCD) during the First World War. The group includes one or more metal disc tags, typically stamped with the individual’s name, service number, unit, and religion, in accordance with period regulations for the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). These tags served as personal identifiers in the event of injury or death and were worn as part of a soldier’s official equipment. The grouping may include additional items related to the officer, such as a fragment of the original neck cord or supplementary identification materials. Items of this nature offer tangible links to the personal experiences of Canadian officers during the 1914–1918 conflict and provide insight into military administrative practices of the era. This set is relevant for research into Canadian military history and the evolution of personal identification methods in war.
