How to track down military names?

[Tin Nugget]

Trying to return a found graduation ring. Graduated Notre Dame 1948 Air Force ROTC (AFROTC). I checked the yearbook seniors and did not find him. There is only one page in the yearbook about the AFROTC and it only list the names of the training officers. Found at a defunct American military base in England. Initials are DEM

If you have access to the '47 yearbook,check the Juniors as he may have left early in his Senior year before pics were taken but after receiving his ring.Or,email the college and ask for anyone with those initials for '47/'48 and explain why you are inquiring.

The "Notre Dame" might be a high school somewhere.

Also the "ND" might mean something else, like "North Dakota".

I'll try the 47 yearbook.

There are allot of Notre Dame high schools but none I can find with an ROTC program or with a crest anywhere similar to the one on the ring. It has a dome with a cross on top, wings with a bomb or possible parachute etc. Fits and ROTC program which they had at Notre Dame and they had the Air Force ROTC program (AFROTC). I can't find any other ROTC school programs with ND initials. Who knows?

Thanks for the suggestions

Also remember, that sometimes programs like AFROTC will get cancelled, due to funding / lack of student interest. So in 1947 that school had that program. Also look at the crest and other markings that may identify that specific School. Once those match up you are getting warmer.
