Rations of the U.S. Army during World War II in 1945 | #worldwar2

The 1945 U.S. Army Individual Emergency rations, specifically the K-rations, were designed for soldiers during World War II. They included breakfast, lunch, and dinner packs, with items like canned beef, cigarettes, coffee, sugar, biscuits, and fruit. The rations were stored in waxed cardboard boxes to ensure waterproofing and durability. Despite being compact, these rations provided a surprising variety of food, considered luxurious for the time. However, after 78 years, the contents have deteriorated significantly, making the tasting of these rations unsuccessful.
