mruiz Posted May 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2017 I found today a Oct 28, 1940 Army Officers Mess Outfit, it is missing the big plate, 1 fork and 2 spoons. Witch I will be looking for, some day to find. Like the one showed here. It is equipped for 8 Officers. Will look good next to the gas stove, and marmite.

US Military Guy Posted May 10, 2017 Share #5 Posted May 10, 2017 You can verify with the checklist, but I don't think that is part of the kit, at least it is not in mine. Great find! I just wish these things we collect could talk to us. I would like to ask how those two items got together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted May 10, 2017 Share #6 Posted May 10, 2017 Those were the mess kits issued to Otto Skorzeny's men at Bastogne... But seriously nice early date on that Mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
