Any one with true facts? My recollatiion is that they were issued about 4-5 bottles per
mounth. Seems to be the way I remembered it. Our Platoon Ldr (Lt.) usually kept one bottle and the rest went to the guys in the platoon. Usually a few drinks for each of us. Did they stop this "officers liquor allottment? If so, when? It sort of reminds me of the cigarettes we had in each K or C ration, along with a carton of cigarettes each week when possible. I still wownder who paid for the cartons. Maybe it was taken out of our pay. Along with the few candy bars brought up. Cant recall as we rarely drew pay.
All but $ 20.00 per month was in a allotment home and well more money than needed
by far, which we rarely collected "over the table" monthly. Most of this "over the table"
money was also sent home if/when we were paid. Come on Roque, think back a few
years. O.K., maybe 60 years or so. Wondering just how long this "officers liquor
ration" was in effect after WW 2 or is it still going on?
