cap174 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy rations for my collection - I restore them back to there original state, so they will be around forever. I'm interested in any ration packs, but the older the better. I don't mind if the rations are water damaged, leaking or not complete. I'm especially looking for compo rations, but like I said before, everything's cool. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2691H Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 You must have heard of the most succulent British Army compo tinned processed cheese. A must for any connoisseur of good food, by just mentioning its name will bring back memories to many a soldier of the good old compo. I did have a few cans left in my barn and will dig them out next month when in the UK and let you know.
