Dear all,
May I ask you about this liner please? What do you think about: Authentic WW 2? Maybe you know about the ink number on its front?

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917

Maybe someone has an idea why an ink number was placed below the eyelet hole?

This would be the soldiers laundry number - First letter of the soldiers last name, followed by the last 4 digits of their Army Service Number (ASN).
Example: B-1234
It's also stamped in the webbing on the interior of the liner.
Hard to read from the photos, but if you can decipher the letter and numbers, you may be able to ID the soldier by searching it on the following site:
Home | WWII US Army Enlistment Records
In the "Search Records" field, type in the laundry number, and choose "Laundry Number" from the drop down to the right of the search field.
