Yea the grandson just lived up the road from where I found it so wasn't to hard to track him down. Yes he did make it through the war. After returning the tag the grandson showed me the old picture I included in this post. He was pretty emotional about it.

 

[ScubaDetector]

Thank you for your reply. I never get that lucky to find someone that fast. Awesome!!

Great story. You should be proud that it went to the right place. What an amazing position to be in: to be able to restore such a personal belonging to the grandchildren of a man who went through so much so those grandchildren could be there to receive it. We owe so much to our ancestors, all the hardships, war, and misery that many of them went through so we could live a life of ease, peace, and security. This story is illustrative of that.
