A find

Hi all.


I have come by these rations from a source. I know they are US and since the fruitcake tin is dated 1968 I'm thinking that they may be C-rats ? I'm going to be selling them on to fund WW2 projects. I've not posted pics. but I also got an enlisted mans Class A jacket with buttons, two pairs of dress pants two garrison caps and a black tie dated 1958 in pretty much MMAcM condition. They are the early Vietnam era dress uniform. Any help or thoughts welcomed.

Let me know the price and I'll buy a box of rations (what a surprise). They are what we used to eat in the tacticals in the early 80's, probably not a good idea, but we did. Vietnam issue as far as I can remember.

Ive heard the story of Martin now with the guards after eating those rations. I think one to avoid

I remember it well, and its true!! Those C rats did strange things to peoples minds!

Not to mention what they do to your insides! That having been said, I wouldn't have thought ol' "Iron Gut" Costin would be too severely debilitated by them...

Cheers,
Ben.

Can't be worse then chocolate with foot shavings in it

Jeses the thought of eating them in the 80's makes me want the loo never mind now!

Are they C-rats then? Do you think they are worth anything on EBAD?

Murph- Yes they are. and Yes they are! Especially because they are in good condition.

Actually my iron guts did suffer slightly, I took a monday off sick after a tactical in Wales, due to "stomach-ache" amd my Mum went ballistic!! Hey- I was only 17 at the time I thought taking time off sick was a right!!!!!!

Tony, I have just shipped out one of my "original recipe" D rations complete with dried skin, to a serving soldier in Afghanistan, plus a whole box and six bars to some WW2 forum members!!!!

Thanks for that, I want to fund the long bayonet scabbard project
