    Two Items No G.I. should be without


    WW2PO

    Recommended Posts

    Used those in Korea in 1960, very same issue as we ate WW2 c-rations back then. Actually it was cheaper and easier to use the bear-worthless South Korean currency known as Won which had a picture of the South Korean President Dr. Syngman Rhee. MPCs (military payment certificates) could be used as toiletpaper too if one was desperate? The issue toiletpaper looks a lot like the paper napkins from several fast food restaurants, wondered if they bought it as surplus? Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California

    15 year old C Rations nice!!!!! They were really spoiling you with those ho,ho,ho :rolleyes:

    Re the Won, I suppose that would be similar to the Saddam H era dinars? Then come to mention it, the new ones aren`t much better I would imagine? :unsure:
