Del France: Hardtack from 1917 (The Great War)

This is some serious hardtack -- a hard cracker made for soldiers nearly 100 years ago!

Hardtack (soldier's) thrown from troop train (Big 4 Railroad), Livingston, Illinois, on November 10, 1917, found by Del France (1908-1966), my paternal grandfather, when he was nine years old. My Dad had it for nearly fifty years. Now I have it.
