Military scrip issued by an American field hospital officers' mess during World War II. These unit-level chits were strictly informal instruments — printed or duplicated in small quantities to manage internal credit at the club, keeping U.S. dollars and coins off the mess table in compliance with theater financial regulations that restricted hard currency circulation among troops.
The anna denomination is the telling detail: it mirrors the fractional currency of British India, suggesting this hospital was stationed in the CBI (China-Burma-India) theater. Four annas equaling one quarter-rupee would have been a familiar unit to anyone buying drinks or snacks locally.
