Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic example of a WWII Canadian Armed Forces emergency ration, processed by William Clark Limited of Montreal, Canada. The ration tin is still sealed quite well with the “key” still firmly attached to the bottom. Emergency rations were to be carried in the soldier's haversack, and eaten "only on the order of an officer."  It usually consisted of a can of "bully" (corned) beef and some biscuits though this one appears to be on the “desert” side of things. This ration contains 12 Biscuit Ration, 2 Chocolate Ration and 12 Milk Chocolate Tablet Ration, as clearly marked on the top of the container.

In 1877 William Clark muscled his way into the Canadian prepared foods industry with nothing but a determined belief that he could make better-tasting, higher-quality food products and that, having made them, people would line up to buy them. With only three employees and no money in the bank he rented an old store front in downtown Montreal. Before long, William and his four sons had built Clark Foods into Canada’s largest diversified food enterprise.

Idiot Clause - the contents of this kit are pre-1945 manufacture and are NOT suitable for consumption. They are being sold as novelty collector pieces only. Even though some people on youtube have tried. Yuk!
