WWII Imperial Japanese Army Vitamin A & D Bottle – 1943 – Army Ration Depot

An original WWII-era empty glass bottle for vitamin supplements used by the Imperial Japanese Army.

The label is dated November 1943 (Showa 18) and bears the markings “Rikugun Ryomatsu Honsho” (Imperial Japanese Army Ration Depot). The label also indicates that the contents included Vitamins A and D.

These vitamin supplements were intended as nutritional support for Japanese Army personnel, including air force units, during the wartime period.

This is an empty bottle with no contents remaining.

There is no major damage, although minor age-related wear, discoloration, and dirt may be present.

A scarce and interesting piece of WWII Japanese military medical/nutritional history, especially appealing to collectors of Imperial Japanese Army and aviation-related militaria.
