POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
“Soldier’s Wife II” says that her husband has no complaint about the food that he receives at his camp, and reports that he has put on nearly a stone in weight in the last three months. She states that her husband's company cook takes a real pride in his work and “it is not unusual for them to have roast pork, apple sauce, vegetables, jelly and custard on Sundays. On other days thev have roast mutton and beef, and they have a variety of food at all times.” On the same subject ‘‘Old Soldiers About to Fade Away” write: “While in the officers’ mess eggs, fried with bacon or liver or scrambled, appear every morning, the men see one egg only on the table a week, perhaps. Also, there is considerable waste of food owing to the proffering of several alternative courses to the officers at each mess, while in the men’s mess one choice or go hungry ,is the order of the day.”
