 By then was already examining the dinner" box with more than academic interest. A long hill near Cornwall, N. r., convinced me il was time to investigate further. ripped off the cover and raced through two more packs of biscuits (they tasted better, noW) 8 can of veal and pork loaf, tube of bouil- lon which dissolved in cold water and another package of matted milk tablets. Another stick of gum, too.
 I had little army document with me which explained that the three meals contained 726 calories more than the average person requires in a day, that it was originally de- signed for the parachute troops. and that everything included had a specific mission.
 The matted milk tablets, for in- stance, laid in keeping sugar toler- ance in the blood stream at a sat- isfactory level"
 OuCSlde ot the 1act that with every additional step I realized street shoes are not marching gear, I reached Temple Hill, outside of Newburgh, in good hape. While resting there made short work of the supper" ration of biscuits, cervelet sausage, a two-ounce bar of chocolaty-looking stuff called ration D." three Jumps of sugar, a package of lemon powder which I dissolved in water, and stick of gum (to keep the mouth moist).
 Up the road bit saw the mon- ument that marks the bivouac of the Continental Army in the winter of 17S2-83. Those ragged heroes would have considered field ration TX" the ambrosia of army emer- gency food.
 Which, come to think of it, it is.
