Korean War Items

2. Ration, Small Detachment
5-In-1A

For our 5-man Radio teams these were most delightful to get and eat. I generally became the cook, a job I enjoyed. I saved a couple of these to share with you. While not exactly gourmet food they did beat eating C-Rations which we had much of the time. In the invasion at Wonson, North Korea, I liberated 3 cartons of these from the 1st Marine Division supplies. It amounted to about 24 meals for 5 men. I also liberated about 192 one-pound cans of Danish Bacon. That would last us for about a year.
