Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 1942 gold lacquered C ration B unit with the markings on the body. Posted some photos to the ChowLine ( https://www.facebook.com/TheChowLine ) but also figured I would post some here. I also thought it might be fun to create a thread specifically for people to post their WWII era C rations in. So, if you have any 1940-45 dated C rations that you would like to share, please feel free to post them. I'm sure we are all interested in seeing them.

I'll start. I don't have many WWII C rations, those that I do have I have collected so far with the intent of getting one of every major version in each year to represent the evolution of packaging and marking style, more than condition of quantity. I'm still missing a 1940 B unit, but I do have an accessory packet and 1944 Supper and Dinner B unit on the way soon. My main interest in C rations has been with the 1950's RIC and RCI rations, with me only in the last couple years starting to acquire WWII C's.

Anyway, please share the WWII C Rations from your collection. There are alot of great examples I have seen over the years in other peoples collections, and it's always nice to see what is stashed away. I know I'm always interested in what M units people have that survived, as those are documented far less frequently due to their scarcity.

Best I can do right now but basically up to date

I'll come back shortly with more pics, editing a Manot Krav right now.

i can go ahead and turn off the internet for today, that last picture is the best thing i'll see today anyway

BTW, whatever happened to the 5 man video with the peanut butter/candied chocolate discs gourmet cracker?

Needs to get edited and maybe a couple scenes re-shot. (Re-reading a few labels)

Sometimes I end up taking a year or two for a few possible reasons on a project. One is just simply finding the right feel on photos.

Like the 1906.. I couldn't have visualized it's production when filming it March 2019. I edited it February 2020 after finding the right photos and a few other things that made it a finished product. Or finished enough for me at least.
