| Opmerkingen |
Camp Beale, near Marysville in California's Sacramento Valley, held Axis prisoners — predominantly German — during the final years of the Second World War. Like most American PoW camp canteens operating under the Geneva Convention's requirements for prisoner welfare, Camp Beale issued its own scrip to allow inmates to purchase goods without handling U.S. currency, which regulations prohibited.
The Campbell catalog reference (7594) places this firmly within the documented American PoW canteen scrip series, though survival rates for these issues vary considerably — many were redeemed and pulped at war's end, and the 1944–1946 window means some circulated right through to Japan's surrender and the subsequent camp closures.
