Moonlight Gecko Posted November 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2017 I picked this up recently, I thought it was interesting with the POM markings and the spade. Does anyone know what unit this would correspond with? The bag is rubberized and dated 1943. I believe the long number on the front is the POM designation number,I think the 4 numbers on the strap and under the flap are the soldier's partial serial number.

Moonlight Gecko Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted November 3, 2017 Thanks for the link. Lot's of great information on the site. I don't see the number corresponding with this bag. Seems there is still a lot more to learn about these numbers and symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
med-dept Posted November 3, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 3, 2017 Hi, All Unit Serial Numbers beginning with 5 are assigned to AAF units. The red spade also painted on it indicates that this was issued to the 9th AAF (tactical marking of the unit): Thanks, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
