"pain de gurre"

Bread of military, as cap said probably just biscuits

All I could find was this mention: " In the early days, the French MREs contained two valuable assets, which soldiers often used as a currency: "Gauloises Troupes" cigarettes and sugar-cane rum made from Africa or the French Indies. Both were removed in the mid-1980s as part of a wider government crackdown on smoking and drinking." - https://www.wsj.com/articles/french-mil ... 1394078508

Wouldn't that be cool.

So cool, thanks for sharing, Claire
