Gents,

The US Army in Europe used a system of 3 coloured bars and a serial number for transport organisation purposes before and just after D-Day.

Does anyone have any examples of this in their collections, please, ie equipment marked with the bar codes and numbers? It was typically preserved on such things as personal kit bags and gear, but also on other items such as jerrycans, boxes, crates, etc

I'm trying to see preserved examples to check the colour coding. If you have an example, could you either post an image or PM me with the image &/or details?

Thanks

Mike C
