Rations, PARTIAL "K" DINNER RATION, "D-1" RATION FOR 10-1 & 5-1 CREATE, US ARMY, WWII.
This "D" Ration is the cardboard box only for 10-1, WWII exact reproduction.
Shipped flat, die cut printed
High grade professedly printed boxes
Made in the U.S.A.
New
Each 10-in-1 and 5-in-1 meal contained 5 partial K rations for dinner. The Army felt that that the main components of the 10-in-1 rations would take a unit too long to try and fix for an afternoon lunch. Especially when troops were on the move. So they came up with a partial K-ration to be included. The partial K included the same types of items as the regular K-Rations. For menu 1 this included: 2 pkgs. biscuits, Candy, Lemon Juice Powder, Sugar, Gum, and a Can key (not a p-38).
These boxes were designed using original Quartermaster Specs dated August of '43. Using the same specs for dimensions as well as paper thickness. These have been professionally off set printed like the originals and cut and scored. Boxes are empty.
