are these wheat or rice crackers?

Hi Tina and thank you for the question! Pilot Bread are wheat crackers. Just in case if you need it, here is the full list of ingredients: Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Partially hydrogenated vegetable shortenings (soybean and/or cottonseed oils), contains 2% or less of dextrose, leavening (yeast, sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate), salt, maple syrup, white vinegar, calcium propionate (as preservative), enzymes. Contains: wheat, soy. We hope this helps! MREdepot Team.

Is this the same as a "hard tack" which was used by soaking in water & then adding cukes, onions, tomatoes, etc.?

No this is more like the " John Wayne cracker" of the Vietnam era c- rations . Thicker and firmer than saltine crackers . If u want hard tack you probly should make it your self . Many recipes on the net .

How many crackers are in a tin?

Great question, thank you! There are 12 crackers in each tin. Therefore, 6 tins will provide you with 72 crackers. I hope this helps. Thank you! MREdepot Team.

When i was a kid we had leftover army c rations from wwii in our pantry. i absolutely loved them. are these the same?

No, they are similar to hardtack but fresher and easier to eat.
