HEADQUARTERS ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT. May 15,—When
the American soldier is on his
own in combat, he wants meat,
crackers, coffee, pork and beans
to sustain him, the War Depart
ment announced today as a result
of an extensive survey.
These are the items the aver
: age GI would prefer to an emer
j gency ration, according to a sub
1 stantial trend in a poll of men who
have seen combat overseas, the
War Department announced today
l in revealing that a study of the
! combat ration has been conducted
by the Office of the Quartermas
ter General among returned
troops at 18 army camps in all
parts of the country. A total
t of 10.000 combat troops were
questioned, on their likes and dis
1 likes in regard to ratoins used at
the front. A preliminary report
issued today gives a sampling of
20 per cent of the replies to a
questionaire.
Experiments with the chow
which the Army trenchmen claim
they prefer will be carried on in
the future by the Quartermaster
Corps in an effort to give soldiers
just the sort of food they want.
The troops turned thumbs down
on such items an beef and pork
loaf, bouillion powder and lemon
powder, all of which were includ
ed in the “K” ration, a single
day’s supply of food for troops
engaged in assault operations.
Asked to list items which should
be placed in an emergency ration
to be used when no other food
is available, the men polled, voted
for meat, crackers and biscuit,
coffe.e pork and beans, chocolate
and chocolate bars and cigarettes.
Only seven per cent felt that ham
and eggs should be included in
such a diet.
All of the men questioned serv
-ed overseas with front line com
bat units, 70 percent having be
longed to Infantry rifle companies
and the remainder to other com
bat units. Sixty per cent of the
troops learned about cr .bat ra
tions in the European tneater of
operations, 19 per cent in the
Mediterranean theater and the
remainder in the Pacific, China
