Ration, Emergency, British, Normandy

€85.00
Tax included

Genuine WWII British Emergency Ration, intended for use when out of reach of any other food. Made up of about 0.3 pound of solid, vitamin-enriched chocolate containted in a sealed tin box, this particular type of ration was only issued on the occasion of special operations -- one single box per person.

It was not to be eaten, except by order of an officer -- either chewed in small pieces or ground up and mixed with hot water to make a sustaining drink. Distribution and use of the Emergency Ration decrease from 1944 onwards, following the introduction of the 24-Hour Ration.

Quite good condition. 

Empty.

The present artifact comes from a significant collection built up by a Norman collector in the last thirty years.
