Hello,

It is a WWII dog tag for a RC french canadian soldier (109689 RCOC?) recruited in Montreal military District (D).

Identification Disks

Nice item, although keep in mind that Americans wore Dog Tags, Canadians wore and continue to wear Identification Disks.

Hi,

Could someone confirm me the service/regiment based on the number D109689?

Thanks

Clément

Since it's Montreal could be Le Régiment de Maisonneuve or Fusiliers Mont-Royal.

There's no service file on D109689 in the War Dead, 1939-1947 of the Canadian Archives. So he wasn't kill during the war for sure. The ''RC'' means Roman Catholic.

But I didn't found more info, sorry. Hope this help!
