Hi Rene -

It was required by regulations for U.S. military personnel to mark their military issue clothing items with the initial of their last name followed by the last 3 or 4 numbers of their military service number. The purpose was to prevent theft and to provide identification if the clothing item was lost or found. Mine, used from 1957 to 1968, was D-9061.
