POM Marked Items
Preparation For Overseas Markings.
POM markings where applied to all the supplies heading to Normandy, it allowed quick recognition of who the supplies were intended for. A bit similar to a post or zip code.
There was a 5 digit code which related to a 3 colour bar code.
These markings where applied to everything from ammo boxes, ration boxes, kit bags and even vehicles.
Very little is known about these codes as with all invasion plans they were protected by top level secrecy.
