| Opmerkingen |
Bons de cantine were issued by French-administered prisoner of war depots to allow German and Austro-Hungarian internees to make purchases within the camp canteen system — a requirement under the 1907 Hague Convention, which prohibited the confiscation of prisoners' personal funds and obligated detaining powers to provide a substitute means of internal exchange. The scrip prevented real currency from circulating inside the camps and simplified accounting between the depot administration and the canteen suppliers.
Blue cardboard construction was deliberate — color-coding by denomination made fraud and substitution harder in an environment with limited oversight.
