K-Rations

These great items were donated by Bean. Thanks Bean! Here's what he has to say about them:

These should be printed out on paper that's a light tan color. I usually use a Manila folder. The reason I did this was because most ink printers don't print real light colors very well. This way they'll look a lot better.

These type of boxes started being issued after 1942 and came in three varieties: Breakfast, Dinner (that's what they called lunch back then), and Supper, for a daily intake of 2830 calories.
