Farragut ID Tags

7/8/2024

Comments

 
Dan Eggart sent me a photo of his dad's ID tag, Ronald E. Eggart. Ronald Eggart served at Farragut for a time before going to Europe during WWII. Both of his brothers also served there.
 
Dan wondered what kind of ID tag it was. I’d never seen one before, so I asked Dennis Woolford who is a ranger at Farragut State Park and coauthor of a book on Farragut Naval Training Station. Dennis said it was an ID tag often used by civilians working on the base. He sent a photo (below) that showed several people who worked in Supply and Accounting wearing similar badges. Most wearing them were civilians, but I also spotted a few on Navy personnel. I also spot a dog some men snuck into the picture in the upper left-hand quadrant.
