NETHERLANDS Army ration, 1980's
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 3:26 am
Here are some pic's of a Dutch Army ration I recently found in my attic. Somehow I managed to keep this ration 'alive'.It is dated around 1980-1985. In front of the cardboard box is -to the left- a package with fuel tab's and -right- a package with emergency rations ("noodrantsoen").
This was the first 'modern' version of the Dutch ration. Previous versions still had cigarettes inside, and had one large main entree can; the cans were painted green. It was abandonned somewhere in 1979. Unfortunately I don't have an example of the very old version.
Ration is 'Macaroni with Ham'.
The tin can with cheese is about to explode.
Part of the ration is in a green box. In the box is a light brown package. The contents of this package are shown, packed in the clear plastic container. (The plastic container is for showing only.)
This a collectors item 'pur sang'. Maybe one or two still exist. So please watch the pic's with great respect.
