备注

Piardoba, in Bengal's Murshidabad district, hosted a major U.S. Army Air Forces base during the Burma campaign — one of the staging points for the Hump airlift over the Himalayas into China. Officer's Club chits of this kind circulated as scrip within the base perimeter, substituting for military payment certificates or hard currency in the club's controlled economy. They were never legal tender and carried no backing beyond the club's own accounting.

Eight annas — half a rupee — was a practical denomination for canteen transactions in a wartime South Asian setting. Almost no examples survive; most were redeemed, discarded, or destroyed when the base closed after V-J Day.
