A box of Compo would feed and infantry section about men for a day or a tank crew around 5 men for two days. See Note 4.
The American answer to this was the "5 in 1" ration feeds 5 men for 1 day which was later changed to the "10 in 1" ration. The 10 in 1 was advertised to feed 10 men for a day, five men for two days or 1 man for 10 days. They even developed a "Squad Cooking Set" to prepare the 10 in 1 rations. This ration got to the troops in late '44 and early "45, and they loved it. NOTES: 1. The British originally called it "iron" ration because it came in metal cans.
The original parachute ration was to be based on pemmican, an American Indian invention consisting of dried meat jerky pounded into powder and mixed with dried fruit and melted. Reports were that they smelled terrible and tasted worse. The pemmican idea was dropped in favor or conventional crackers.
The letter "I" was not used and I'm not sure ":J" was used either. Compo was essentially a box of lots of cans of food. Its primary attraction was the great variety of food it had. Rather than a set menu, the British made sure each box had a balance of meat, vegetables, bread and condiments.
It was designed specifically for units in actual combat where no messing facilities were available and represented the culmination of scientific experiments begun in to provide rations that could be carried by the individual soldier and provide three satisfying meals a day. Cs were packed in six small cans, three contained the meat M items three the basics B items. In most instances the ration was served cold, but was designed to be palatable hot or cold.
Menu No. The B-1 unit included biscuits, premixed and compressed cereal, coffee, cubed sugar and coated peanuts. The B-4 unit was the same as B-1 except that coated chocolate drops replace the coated peanuts. The original K-Ration was developed for paratroopers because the C, with its can and weight, was not considered appropriate.
The K was created to provide a good nutritional ration, light in weight, yet suitably packaged to withstand the rigors of combat.
Ks were placed in three units marked Breakfast, Dinner and Supper. Breakfast consisted of compressed, premixed cereal, biscuits, egg and meat product, fruit bar, coffee and sugar, wooden spoon, cigarettes, chewing gum, water purification tablets and toilet paper.
Dinner included biscuits, cheese product, candy bar, a lemon, orange or grape drink powder, sugar, wooden spoon, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum and salt tablets. Supper included biscuits, meat product, chocolate bar or caramels, bouillon, coffee, sugar, wooden spoon, cigarettes, and chewing gum.
The egg and meat product was either chopped pork and egg yolk or chopped ham and egg. The cheese product was processed American cheese, process American cheese with bacon, or processed American and Swiss cheese.
The meat product included in this ration was canned pork with carrot and apple or beef and pork loaf. The D-Bar ration was an emergency combat ration carried by all men to be used when there was no other food. July Total war knows no bounds. Almshouse bombed Feb. Life in London during the war.
