While out with my metal detector here in England yesterday I found my first American dog tag, although it is in 3 pieces it very clearly reads
EDWIN MANKTELOW
32585923 T43
PEARL SCHWINGEL
RT4
COHOCTON NY
I would love to be able to return this little piece of history to Mr Manktelow (if he is still alive) or to his family but I really have no idea how to go about this, then I found you via the internet and see that you have had some great results, so any help would be very much appreciatedLorine's notes: I'll start the ball rolling on this search with a WW2 Enlistment Record for Edwin W.

Here is a link to an obituary on Ancestry.com that gives the names and cities of residence of son and daughter, as well as some grandchildren.
