| Obverse description | Printed in blue letterpress ink on pink paper, the face is divided into two distinct panels: the left panel bears a bordered banner inscribed 'PRISONER OF WAR' at the top, below which 'CANTEEN' appears in bold block letters, followed by the issuer name 'DeWitt General Hospital' and location 'AUBURN, CALIFORNIA,' with a serial number in red and the caution notice 'NOT GOOD IF DETACHED' at lower left. The right panel presents the denomination numeral '5' in large figures above the word 'CENTS,' all contained within a rectangular border. The two-panel layout gives this wartime canteen voucher a utilitarian, typeset appearance consistent with institutional scrip of the period. |
