Abstract

ABSTRACT In September 2017, an archaeological excavation at RAF Thorpe Abbotts (also known as Station 139) uncovered 7 identification ‘dog’ tags belonging to airmen of the United States Army Air Force (USAAF). It is the thesis of this article that these were purposefully buried by individuals within the 100th Bomb Group (Heavy) as acts of remembrance. Alongside the dog tags were a number of other artefacts, including coins, bottles, and a canteen cup. These likely formed the material culture of self-developed grieving rituals established by the primary group responsible for the deposition of the dog tags.

军队中的方言纪念:索普阿博特皇家空军的个人纪念行为

2017年9月，在英国皇家空军索普阿博特基地(也被称为139站)的考古发掘中，发现了7个属于美国陆军空军(USAAF)飞行员的身份识别“狗”标签。这篇文章的论点是，这些是由第100炸弹小组(重型)内的个人有意埋葬的，作为纪念。除了狗牌之外，还有一些其他的文物，包括硬币、瓶子和一个水壶杯。这些可能形成了自我发展的悲伤仪式的物质文化，这些仪式是由负责销毁狗牌的主要群体建立的。
