Might this be the same soldier? Transferred to another regiment?

I agree, $100 was a great buy. Not only is that history in your hand, it is directly linked to an individual who once held and possibly carried into battle with him. If that tag could talk!

Ah ... But this counterstamped ID is talking to us. It's telling us who once carried it, where, when, why. By researching the original owner and his regiment, even more can be learned.

Counterstamps can and do talk!
