When troops are new and young they need special conâ€" sideration in this. matter,, particularly in view of.the fact that most of these young men have just left the home tables where they were bounteously fed and where their personal predflections were given weilght. It may be just as well to remark that when the serious business of: feeding hundreds of thousands and even milâ€" lions of men in actual field operations is undertaken rations become very simâ€" ple. Even in base and training camps where location would surzgest that proxâ€" imity of source of supply might mean a wider variety of food and, perhaps, greater quantities, there is a rigidity of diet and a limitation of volume which is rather d.lsconcel‘bing to the hearty eater. â€" AsSs | the. last war progressed and as the food blockade. ofi Great.

T is no disparagement of them to say that they were probably the dirtiest men in the British army. They were in the spot to get really dirty at a time when the troops themselves had some chance to keep clean The softâ€"coal aemoke from the reeking kitchens, the spattering grease from the bacon, the from their shoes to their hair.

A cook on â€" the march was a man to steer clear of anyâ€" how, as his temper and his vocabulary Were things to marvel over. The seasoned troops actually ate very little in France. They gradually learnâ€" ed that it was possible to get along with very little food and very simple food. They lost their taste for rich â€"things and. when the war was over many of the oldâ€"timers had difficulty in resumâ€"» mud of the roads, combined to give them a rich ‘patina which extended ing an interest in cakes and pies, alâ€" thouzh in the trenches they used to dream of such delicacies. The soldier who survived years of the campaign in France and Belgium probably did not realize at the finish how little he was getting, but on the rations, such as they were, he could endure: a tremendâ€" ous amount of work and hardship.
