| 正面描述 | 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. |

DeWitt General Hospital in Auburn, California operated as a large Army general hospital during and immediately after World War II, and like many military installations of the period it issued its own scrip to facilitate on-base commerce — canteen purchases, haircuts, small transactions that the Army preferred to keep off the civilian economy. This note is part of that closed-currency system, redeemable only within the installation and worthless the moment the hospital deactivated.
DeWitt closed in 1946 as the demobilization swept through the Western Defense Command's medical infrastructure. Scrip from hospitals that shut down abruptly was rarely redeemed in full, which accounts for occasional survivors in uncirculated condition.
