| Opmerkingen |
The Houillères du Bassin du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais were nationalized coal-mining operations established under the postwar nationalization laws of May 1946, though some group-level canteen scrip was already circulating before the formal reorganization took effect. This note — issued by the Bruay group specifically for the prisoner-of-war canteen ("Cantine des P.G.A.") — was intended for German POWs employed in the mines as forced labor under Allied repatriation and reparations agreements.
The use of dedicated scrip prevented POW wages from entering general circulation and kept purchasing power confined to controlled canteen outlets. Bruay was one of the largest mining groups in the Pas-de-Calais basin, and German labor there continued into 1948 as France extracted what it could before repatriation concluded.
