France RATION?

Post by katojapan »

Hello!

I've just received the thing I bought at eBay France.

Do you have any idea what this is?

It's nice to get to know you.
I make videos of me trying rations of militaries of various countries
and upload them on Youtube.

Hi,
that's great: first, you had a T (Temperate climate) ration, now you also have the C ration ("Chaud" means warm/hot in French). They are same as the T packs but in the C hot climate ration there is no brandy (tea instead generally) and there's canned fish (sardines or tuna) instead of pâté. It's the ancester of the "no pork" RCIR.
79 is certainly 1979.
I didn't know the green version of the C ration. They were generally brown.
RCIR is a ...RCIR
The little pack is a survival ration but I don't know them at all.
