Can, Meat, US Army, M.M.T. TOURNUS 1945
€55.00
Tax included
Genuine WWII US Army M1932 aluminium meat can, bearing mention M.M.T. (Manufacture Métallurgique de Tournus) and dated 1945. As the Allies expanded into Europe, it was getting increasingly difficult for supply lines to keep up with them. Add to this the expense of shipping items half way around the world, and it was decided to manufacture some items locally. Here is an example of the mess kits made in France towards the end of the war and issued to American troops during the winter 1944-45.
In good overall condition, the present two-part mess tin is complete with original lid.
