US WW2 K Ration Boxes Pre Assembled Boxes

American World War Two K ration boxes.

These come ready assembled (we also have them available flat packed see below under related products). 

The compact K ration was the result of a request by the Airborne troops in 1941 to replace the heavier C ration cans. The new combat ration was name after the man in charge "Doctor Ancel Keys".

The K ration was standardized in November 1942 for general issue. A set of three boxes, one for each meal was issued per day. These boxes are the 1944 design so are correct for D-Day and they include the inner and outer boxes.

Price is for a complete set of three rations and include in the inner and outer boxes, boxes are empty and do not include any food or other contents.

Price is for:

• Inner and outer Breakfast box.
• Inner and outer Dinner box.
• Inner and outer Supper box.

Boxes are made up ready for display but are empty, some people cut blocks of wood to place inside the boxes to stop them from crushing while travelling to and from events (blocks of wood not included).

These make a great finishing touch to your display.
