Ration, Emergency, British, Full
€245.00
Tax included
Rare genuine WWII British Emergency Ration, 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.
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 decreased from 1944, following the introduction of the 24-Hour Ration.
The present ration retains all original contents.
