Title |
Boer war ration tin |
||
Description |
English: This ration tin most likely dates to the Boer War period (1899-1902), and is sometimes referred to as an 'iron' ration. At one end of the tin is the word 'COCOA', whilst the other end has the word 'DINNER' in relief. Internally, the tin is divided into two sections, the 'DINNER' containing a beef extract (a little like 'Oxo Cubes') and the 'COCOA' compartment contains compressed cocoa powder. There is a soldered tin strip at each end of the tin, which would have been opened with a small key, similar to the way some modern cans are opened today. This example is intriguing, because as the tin is still sealed, the food ration is probably still inside. The tin would have originally had a paper label with these instructions: EMERGENCY RATION Field Service This ration is not to be opened except by order of an officer or in an extremity. It is to be carried in the haversack and produced at inspections etc. The ration is calculated to maintain strength for 36 hours if eaten in small quantities at a time. Similar examples, which are held at the National Army Museum, London, were made by the Bovril Company of London. With thanks to Ed Purvis at the National Army Museum for providing further information about this item. |
