question WW2 British rations???

[sas pinkie]

Well if I did my jeep as american there are loads of lovely things like K ration box's to help dress it, but I want to do it as one in British use.

 

This then poses my question, what rations did the british use? would they have been sharing the yanks k rations or only thier own, and is any repros available?

 

Any other thoughts for nice british things to dress a british jeep with?

Well done for doing British markings for starters. The possibilities are endless really, what div signs or unit markings are you using? The vehicle stowage and kit would depend a bit what that regiment did, and what role the jeep would have been used for.

I have the idea of doing mickey mouse cam with an M number and invasion star, and bridge plate and leave it at that. I have that fantastic book of jeeps in british service and most in that dont have anything else.....
