jayhawkhenry Posted May 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2009 Here is a USMC pack system. Does anyone know what unit the markings are for? There is always a story with every purchase. The story for this is that the shop owner purchased it at a garage sale of a man who was on Iwo Jima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsystem4 Posted May 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2009 Black and yellow rectangle marking is 5th marine division and they did fight on Iwo Jima. The marking is part of the UNIS system. I have a canteen from a corpsman who was with the 26th marines on Iwo with the same symbol. The "A" is probably the marines' company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
