What are the dimensions of the box Robert, it looks quite small, and what would constitute a breakfast?

Joe.

I'll try and post the size and contents this weekend Joe.

Thanks SC.

1-package of 4 cigarettes

1-stick of chewing gum

thats every thing listed in side the box enought to keep you going but you ain't gonna get fat off it.

It doesnt sound too appetising to me, but when a mans hungry....

Joe

it's just enouth to keep you alive and the cigerttes and gum to kill the taste

also the reason I found this and bought it is that the company I work for during ww 2 packaged these along with two other companys so it's also a little local history to.

C rations gave you a couple of pieces of toilet paper too. That was during the Vietnam era. They still had the gawdawful eggs and ham then too.. Vietnam era. Maybe they were left over.

if you ever watched any ww2 movies they never had the time to use TP if they weren't fighting they where eating or heading out on leave
