THE PRINCE’S SOUP

STORY OF WARTIME MEAL Here is a story of the negro wartime cook who made the best soup the Prince of Wales ever tasted —or so says Colonel C. M. Ogilvie, who served with 18,000 Jamaican troops during the war. Colonel Ogilvie’s story, told at a party at Ontario, Canada, was as follows:—The Prince of Wales was in Jamaica and was being shown round by Colonel Ogilvie, when suddenly the colonel noticed a large and cheerful negro in the distance. “Do you remember Passchendaele?” he asked the Prince. “I certainly do, and I remember the soup your cook served there. I never tasted anything better,” replied the Prince. The colonel pointed to the negro and remarked, “There is the man who made it.” ‘‘Just a moment,” the Prince called to the negro. “I want to shake hands with you. You made the best soup I ever tasted.” After the Prince had gone added Colonel Ogilvie. the negro cook gazed after him admiringly and said: “Imagine me making such good soup that the Prince came all the way from England to shake my hand.”
