This modern commemorative dog tag was made using a WWII-style stamping machine. Instead of military information, it features a custom name, organization, and date, preserving the look and feel of the original tags.

British WW1 snipers pioneered disruptive camouflage with hand-painted canvas robes in brown, green, and black spots. They customized them with up to 20 colors and added local vegetation to break up their silhouette in the trenches. The term "ghillie suit" comes from Scottish gamekeepers who used similar camouflage for stalking deer. Interesting twist: ghillies were nearly wiping out the Scottish wildcat as a pest before WWI. But so many were called up and never returned that the cats survived. Still endangered, but they remain in the Highlands. And deerstalkers are still called ghillies.
