British WWII Tinned Oat Ration

This is a reproduction of the standard "Oats, Salt and Sugar” tin from the mid to late war ‘Ration, Composite’ (AKA “Compo” ration). These Canadian manufactured tins of breakfast oats were standard fare in the rations of Canada, Great Britain, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, as well as other Commonwealth nations.

Just like the originals, our repro cans come in the tapered compo tins containing two sachets of oats, a sachet of sugar and a small salt packet. This is sufficient for 3 rations of oatmeal, which can be cooked in a mess tin in about 3 minutes. Instructions (as in the original) are included. Combined with a tin of Bully Beef or “Meat” (the red tin of Spam-like stuff) along with tea and biscuits, this comprised one of the more palatable breakfast items from the Compo ration. Tin is Olive Green, with the proper roll stamp identifying the contents.

These are real sealed tin cans, just like in World War II and Korea. Blow away your authenticity officers and casually open a tin of oatmeal! Cans are readily opened with your service tin opener.

We will gladly combine multiple orders to minimize your shipping costs.
