Camp Kilmer in New Brunswick, New Jersey was primarily a transit facility — one of the busiest Army Service Forces camps in the country, processing hundreds of thousands of troops in both directions across the Atlantic. The prisoner of war canteen scrip issued there exists in a narrow window: the Geneva Convention required that PoW labor wages be paid in a form that could only be spent within the camp, preventing the accumulation of usable currency. This note is the physical result of that obligation.
Camp Kilmer closed its PoW operation in 1946 as German prisoners were repatriated, which compressed the scrip's active life to well under two years.
