Hughes had served in a machine gun unit in the 101st Infantry, had fought in battles at the Argonne Forest and others in France and was wounded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had very sketchy information about my grandfather, very limited. I didn\u2019t know what branch of the service he was in or what he did,\u201d said Hughes.<\/p>\n<p>The whole experience has left Hughes feeling grateful. He\u2019s baffled about how a 100-year-old dog tag from the First World War ended up on the street in Randolph and elated that it came to him thanks to thoughtful people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devtun sends us a link to the story of Joe Hughes&#8217; World War One-era dogtag which &hellip; <a title=\"Joe Hughes&#8217; dog tag returned\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=68242\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Joe Hughes&#8217; dog tag returned<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[217],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-we-remember"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/68243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
