SWW British Rations
The 24-Hour Rations were strictly an expedient ration and were not designed to be lived off of more than one or two days. When fresh rations were not available from the unit cook, then Compo Rations were employed for long-term feeding of troops in the field. Once issued, Compo Rations were opened and the various tins were distributed within the various AFV ration boxes.
Something else to remember is, that overseas, Canadians were issued and ate British rations.
