Tin, Ration, Emergency, British
€85.00
Tax included
Genuine WWII British Emergency Ration tin, intended for being used 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 unit per person.
Only to be eaten 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 decreased from 1944 onwards, following the introduction of the 24-Hour Ration.
Quite good overall condition. The lid retains its original rubber gasket.
