Did Civil War Soldiers Wear Dog Tags? In this informative video, we’ll take a closer look at how soldiers during the American Civil War identified themselves. While today’s military personnel wear standardized dog tags, this practice was not established during the Civil War. Instead, identification was often a personal responsibility for the soldiers. We’ll discuss the various methods they used to ensure they could be recognized if they fell in battle, from handwritten notes pinned to their clothing to homemade tags crafted from wood and metal.

We’ll also highlight the role of sutlers, private merchants who sold identification products, and how their offerings helped soldiers find a more formal way to identify themselves. Additionally, we’ll touch on a notable proposal from 1862 that aimed to introduce metal name discs for the Union army, which unfortunately did not come to fruition.
