Hello

This dog tag was made after 1947 with "AF" for "Air Force". Before 1947, "AF" are not present on the us dog tags because the USAAF was part of the US Army until the USAF came into being in 1947.
Or the army serial number is for a soldier who was enlisted on the us army during the war (period 1939-1945). So perhaps ha was in England during the war but ha was too in England after the end of the war. And ha have change his dog tags after 1947.

Best regards from France.
