| 正面铭文 | PRISONER OF WAR CAMP CANTEEN FT. GEORGE G. MEADE, MD. NOT GOOD IF DETACHED 2 CENTS |
| 背面描述 | Printed in black on the same orange-tan paper, the reverse is dominated by a central letterpress vignette enclosed within a ruled border, bearing the large numeral 2 within a circular frame over the word CENTS, with a fine line border surrounding the composition. The bold capital letters P and W flank the central vignette to the left and right respectively, serving as the standard Prisoner of War canteen currency identifiers. |

Fort George G. Meade held a substantial population of German and Italian POWs during the Second World War, and the canteen scrip issued there was a direct consequence of the Geneva Convention's requirement that prisoners be allowed access to a canteen and compensated for labor. The U.S. Army standardized this across dozens of camps, but each installation printed its own series, making Meade's scrip a localized artifact of that administrative machinery rather than a centrally produced currency.
Camouflage-print and color-coded denominations were common across American POW scrip to prevent hoarding and transfer outside camp perimeters. The 2-cent value handled the smallest canteen transactions — tobacco, soap, razor blades.
