This grouping of preserved WWII supply items, part of the Kotec China-Burma-India Theater collection, includes an original 'Desiccant, Corrosion Preventive' bag manufactured by the Davison Chemical Corporation and dated December 11, 1941, alongside wooden storage crates and paper-wrapped components. Such moisture-control materials were essential in the humid CBI Theater, where tropical conditions posed a constant threat of corrosion to ammunition, optics, and equipment. Project: 218479
