Barrack bag of a AAA-O veteran (39th Infantry Rgt - 9th ID)

[Murphy92]

Hello
I will retrieve this barrack bag ... it is in the name of a S/ sgt of the 39th infantry regiment (9th infantry division) DOW in September 1944.
Clearly, this bag dates from the beginning of the career of this brave. Do you have an idea of ​​the meaning of the triangular marking drawn on the serial number?
Thank you in advance for your information

The triangle could mean different things but he could have been in a forward observation squad or even an anti aircraft artillery squad/battery as the triangle was associated with them at times. The dot usually indicates something to do with artillery or at unit level a squad. The triangle is a map symbol for forward observation and sometimes in abbreviated form as anti aircraft artillery. Just speculation on my part
