During WW2, there were 2 types of Dog Tags with different info. One dog tag was worn while in the US and the other type had less info while serving overseas---for security reasons.
During WW2, when the soldier went into combat, he was issued a dog tag that basically had his Name, Serial Number, Blood Type, Date of Tetnus Shot and Religion.
While in the States, his dog tag would give hometown and nearest relative.
These days, US Army dog tags as well as other military dog tags are embossed or engraved with the following information:
LAST NAME
FIRST NAME AND MIDDLE INITIAL
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
BLOOD TYPE
RELIGIOUS PREFERENCE
A good source for information on dog tags is SoldierCity.com. I just got a pair of official custom Army dog tags from SoldierCity, and they have a whole section on their custom dog tag page which explains historical and current information on what is actually embossed or engraved on a dog tag.

Why the nick in the military dog tag?
The slight cutout or "nick" is to line up and hold the dog tag for stamping purposes. A rumor that the nick was used to drive the dog tag into the teeth of the dead soldier was just that, a rumor.
