To reduce the chance of clerical errors occurring in army personnel records, soldiers will be issued identification tags which print like an addressing machine plate. Each tag will bear the name and number of the wearer, as well as the name and address of his nearest of kin, in embossed letters that serve as type in reproducing the information on casualty and other records, thus eliminating hand copying. Clerks and medical workers will place the tag in a pistol-like “printer” to stamp the inscription on record forms.
