The BBC reports that Keep Military Museum in Dorchester, Dorset, believes that it has the last complete D-Day ration pack in its collection. Originally thought to date from the 1950s, the sealed pack was found to contain the extremely rare assault rations of the Second World War. Its contents include three chocolate bars, 10 biscuits, blocks of tea, sugar, milk, and four pieces of toilet paper, and was intended to provide a soldier with 4,000 calories per day. It is believed to be the only surviving complete assault ration pack in the world.
To whom did this kit belong? Did he make it home? Who might steal such a thing? What other non-mundane properties might this have? What would happen if you ate that chocolate? What happens next?
