Does anyone from the U.S. have a relative still alive who fought during WW2 overseas?

This is a question for research Maureen is doing on her new book and she would like to know what type of chewing gum was included in the ration kit provided to the American soldiers who went over to the UK?
If anyone knows the answer to this, we'd appreciate knowing.
I looked on one site and it seemed to indicate it was Wrigley's juicy fruit, but Maureen seems to think it was a pink gum that came in a long strip and had a cinnamon taste.
