Hey Roque: Got to agree with you. Last tray I saw was on he troopship (Queen Mary)going overseas. Just messkits and many times just a spoon carried in my boot top.
Never had to cut C or K rations in a can. The (p-38) can opener was usually carried
on my dog tag chain just in case the neglected to add it..
Joe, you got that right, I forgot , them things we used going to No. Africa.
How long did it take you to get there. It took us 14 days, on a zig zag course
with the navy dropping depth charges, what a sight watching the water come
up like a geyser. And we did carry the p-38 on our dog tags. Hey Joe, what
about t/paper!! in our helmet liner and at night on the back of our helmets held by
the strap so the guy behind you could see you. Bring back memories Joe?
War was hell and still is. Roque
