Description: Identification bracelets such as this were popular items during the Second World War. Often presented to service members by loved ones, they also served a practical purpose, particularly in the Pacific theater. When identification tags were first issued by the U.S. Marine Corps in 1917, they were secured to the wearer by necklaces of woven thin Monel wire, cloth tape, or even improvised bootlaces. These crude necklaces often failed in the harsh climates of the Pacific theater. As a result, tags were often lost in training and combat. When service members were able to obtain identification devices like this bracelet, they were ensured an added degree of protection if wounded or killed in action. It was both a loving and practical gift.
