Camp Barkeley, near Abilene, Texas, operated as both a U.S. Army training facility and a prisoner of war internment site under the Geneva Convention framework that required captors to provide canteen access to POWs. These scrip notes were issued internally to allow German prisoners to purchase approved goods without handling U.S. currency — a deliberate policy to prevent coin accumulation that might fund escape attempts.
Production was entirely in-house, printed at the camp itself, which shows. The printing quality is rudimentary by any standard, and the notes were never intended to outlast the war. Most were destroyed or confiscated at repatriation. Survivors typically turn up in former guard or staff collections, not POW ones.
