| | Trench Food |
 | | This food did not last very long and if the kitchen staff were unable to provide food to the soldiers they might be forced to retreat from land they had won from the enemy. |
 | | Food and tea was sent along in 'dixies' (large iron containers the lid of which could be used as a frying pan). |
 | | The big question is, of course, the food and ammunition supply, the former term covering meat, bread, groceries, hay, straw, oats, wood, coal, paraffin and candles, the latter comprising cartridges, shells, shrapnel, bombs, grenades, flares, and rockets. |
