The brew kit in the 24hr Rations 20y ago was bigger than the entire WW2 Rations

[@LivingHistoryUK]

Great video as always, glad you like the box and contents and looking forward to part 2!

[@AJKam1kaz3]

Is it just me, or you expected to hear next, "Alright, let's get this out on a tray! NICE!"? I watch too much ration review videos.

[@bigtsuji]

If it was that kind of video, the ration would have been 75 years old

[@andrewjohnston4127]

Nice hiss 😁

[@davidbrennan660]

After watching this you don’t feel hungry..... like a real one.......magic word of the day to old soldiers... Oatmeal block.

[@andrewcombe8907]

It makes you realise how modular the 37 pattern webbing was. Each ration pack fit into one mess tin and there was a pocket for each of the mess tins in the 37 pattern haversack.

cant wait for part 2 keep up the good work!!

[@BlindFox]

I reviewed a modern British ration on my channel and the box ration still have the boiled sweets, Can't remember of the new bag rations have them.

[@richardfranz5733]

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !

[@jakebrowncollection1772]

Those biscuits Steve puts with the ration are very morish and the tea is really good 👍 great review mate can't wait for part 2

[@fruitbat4429]

Neat review. Good that you made the point that this was a ration intended for short term use.

[@Thomachi]

These look so good that one is almost afraid to consume them!
Need to get a few myself when the budget allows it.

[@camojoe83]

Man.. idk about all those boiled sweets. I'd have nightmares in the trenches about opening rations that were only made of them since I'm not a fan. Probably. Who knows, maybe they were good trading fodder.

I'm sorry, Freddie Mercury called. He wants his 'stache back.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

terrific stuff

[@Shadycoder]

Fantastic video, thanks for uploading and sharing. I would have thought that the ration pack would have contained so form of vegetable or source of vitamins, was there a reason this wasn't included back then? Was it difficult to preserve that sort of product, or is it because it is purely a 24hr ration pack and not intended for long term use?

[@starnessstoreroom4668]

Interesting video, may have to get one myself 😁

[@Splodge542]

I imagine that fear and adrenaline suppresses appetite. I wonder if the veterans remember how they used the 24 ration packs in Normandy?

[@shaunmarsh7930]

Sorry but I have to ask in what detail are you planning to cover the scratch and scrape?
Well someone had to ask!

[@simongee8928]

I avoid the oxo type cubes as a drink because they tend to taint the driinking vessel. Better crumbled into the meat cube broth.

[@leighrate]

I count 14 biscuits. Menu states 10.

[@zaynevanday142]

I brought one of those a few years ago off evilbay

[@floydvaughn836]

Too many green sweets!

[@tonysizzle8574]

Cool.

[@jenniferwhite6089]

you would think the cubes would be wrapped too

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

yes, seems a bit odd .. ?

[@zaynevanday142]

They fit nicely inside the larger mess Tin ?

[@Andyb2379]

Can’t help but think the company dentist would have been rather busy. No toothpaste included .

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

That's what the chewing gum is for. This is for short duty assault troops, not infantry. The infantry would have their personal admin roll with them.

[@RiflemanMoore]

The assault troops using the 24 hour ration would have carried their holdall, containing wash kit including toothbrush and toothpaste/powder.

[@Darrenbatteson.531]

Can you do one on a Canadian ww2 ration pack

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

the difference would be interesting for sure

[@andrewclark891]

That type of toilet paper is horrible to use! From bitter experience.

[@simongee8928]

Indeed. How can anyone be expected to use non absorbent toilet paper - ?

[@andrewclark891]

@@simongee8928 it was horrible to use, I still shudder at memory of it

[@simongee8928]

Maybe it was the origin of the term 'skid marks' as that's what you often ended up with - ! 😆
