The United Services Officers' Club in Chittagong issued small-denomination scrip during the Second World War to facilitate internal transactions among British and Allied military personnel stationed in what was then a strategically critical Bengal port. Chittagong served as a major logistics hub during the Burma Campaign, and the club's scrip circulated strictly within that closed military environment — never in public commerce.
Two annas was the smallest denomination in most such club series, used for canteen purchases and minor mess charges. Pink paper was a common color-coding convention for this value across Anglo-Indian club scrip of the period.
