| Description | The cooker has been parked in the corner of a yard, which has low outhouses in it. The sinuous roof tiles and bricks can be seen in the background along with the right-angled gap between the buildings. The cooker is only half visible - disappearing off the bottom edge. There are soldiers grouped around it with their shirts off. It is sunny and most people are smiling. These cookers on carriages were a fairly common sight at mess times in the war zone. They were not always available, however, and soldiers sometimes had to rely on their own initiative and fend for themselves. [Original reads: 'BRITISH OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE WESTERN FRONT. Cooks of the Newfoundland Regiment at the cookers.'] |
