Description
"Dog Tag" from the 43rd New York Volunteers. This brass identification disc is inscribed with the name of Robert Stanton of Company D of the 43rd New York Volunteer Infantry. The disc is engraved with the battles in which the 43rd served: Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, 'Seven Days Richmond', Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. These identification discs were the precursor to modern military day dog tags and were worn by many troops during the war in order for their bodies to be identified if they were killed. Stanton was a private in the 43rd enlisting on February 25, 1862 and mustering out on February 25, 1865. The disk has a small hole for attachment of a necklace on which it was worn. This is an interesting piece of Civil War memorabilia that was worn by this soldier during some of the war's most heated conflicts.Auction Info
