The "Blood Chit"  was first used during WWI by RAF aviators over Afghanistan.
 Just a few square inches of material that promised a reward for safe return to friendly forces. A part of the Survival, Escape, and Evasion Kit.
This is the Vietnam War version.

Thanks to Ian Wilson for this copy of the XM-61-1
