Exciting find for the Northern Relic Hunters Metal Detecting Forum. They now need your help to reunite these dog tags with the families of the servicemen. They were found on a recent search in the North East!
Can you help with the search? These dog tags - which are thought to pre-date WW2 - were found near Richmond, (North Yorkshire).
Four sets of dog tags were found by Ian on his very first search. For the last few weeks, Ian has found out the following….
Major Ian Alister KENNEDY - Service Number 459280 (Intelligence Corps), Kings Own Border Regiment based at Humbleton Camp from 1959 onwards.
Lieutenant Colonel John Robert HODGES, OBE - Service Number 451264. He was later promoted to Major General, and served with the Kings Own Border Regiment too. Hodges was mentioned in the 1990 New Years Honours List.
Lieutenant Colonel W K BAZETT - Service Number 403386
Lieutenant Colonel D J MARTIN - Service Number 112896
The four were all highly ranked but how the tags came to be together is a mystery. Can you help Ian find these service men or their families? We would love the families to have this piece of their family history back.
PLEASE SHARE!
