—”Lug-a-lugs?”

GOT TO BE IT!!!

!THAT WAS MY UNIT!

1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized)
B Company 1-11, Fifth Infantry Division

I was a small cog in REMAGEN.
IIRC it was the largest armored assault since WWII??

GOT TO BE IT!!!

But I have zero recognition of the name?
And recover more than a few of them.
But do not recall any cardboard, perhaps that had run short?
Definitely, some were one inside of another.

THANK YOU!

Our C-rations came in card board boxes all the time, that is when we got them.
