Welcome to Wartimerations

 The photograph on the right is your truely during a trip to Arnhem

 in 2002 for the Race to the bridge event. It was during this event that i realised i had spent more money on reproduction labels for my rations than on the actual ferry fare. OK a slight exaggeration on my part but all you other re-enactors out there know where i am coming from. In other words a 2 quid label makes an expensive tin of beans when the empy tin is thrown into the bin.

  I decided to do something about it and produce usable period ration packs with re-enactor quality throw away labels that wouldn't break the bank or the heart when discarded after use.

  I have been selling the results on ebay with some success hence the production of this website. Inside you will find ration packs from the Boer war,WW1,WW2, Korea and Vietnam for the armed forces of most nations including Great Britain,Australia,canada,U.S.A. ,Germany and Russia.

 I also help run a WW1/WW2/Korea Field kitchen along with 4 friends from the Northeast of England and Scotland. We attend events all over the UK and the contintent cooking war time meals using original wood burning soyer cookers and utensils sticking to menu's and recipes straight out of the armed forces manuals. This photograph on the right is of me again enjoying a bowl of porridge at one of the Great war societies events at Beamish open air museum in County Durham Where the G.W.S.did a pre WW1 territorial army enlisting camp and we supplied the kitchen to feed the troops. So if your re-enactment group needs fed the 29th Field Kitchen are the men to do it.

This is a photograph of my British airborne pack 1. It contains 4 tinned rations which are pork and beans,evaporated milk,pork and ham and baked beans.Also included are toffee pieces,biscuits,life saver mints,chewing gum and beef extract. All are modern usable products with reproduction period wrappers and labels.This set costs £4.00 + postage less than the price of a couple of some reproduction labels.
