[@Genni] Aside from his jacket and potentially his knife, the Dog Tags serve as the only memento Benji has that belonged to his father, who pretty much put a bun in the oven and immediately got shipped out to France and subsequently died during the War. 

See:
[quote=Benji's History]
Born in the town of Rockport to an English teacher, Benji never had the opportunity to know his father, conceived on the eve of one Charlie Hayes' deployment to France in the Great War.

Unless the Army sending the dog tags back to his family isn't something they did back then. In which case I'll have to switch some stuff around.
