FRANCK. Aug 13. -The illlportalKe
of the kitchen department of the
army can not be overrated, lor if men
eto work hard ar.d efficiently then
9t be decently fed For (his rea-i
the "king's regulations" provide
that iftis the first duty of every com !
I maiiilii* officer to see that the sol-'
, dices''menu are "properly and suffi
ciently provided." It is further or- 1
dered thrtjltl officer must inspect the
! kitchens and COOk houses every day,
| while the sYrndfbf fleer must visit the
I barrack rooms and mess tents during
the breakfast, dinner and supper
hours to find out if there is any cause!
for complaint.
The kitchen establishment of a f!rit-|
ish army camp varies widely under dif
ferent circumstances. At garrison.'
centers in France the cook house is
a large building shared by several !
units, and Is under the charge of n
sergeant chef, who has been through
a special course Itt military cooking
| It is his duty to superintend person- 1
ally all cooking done In the regimen-1
tal cook house Kach unit, in its turn. I
has a chief cook who is responsible
for all the meals of his unit.
In the field, however, the cook house
is a thing of mushroom growth When
a unit is on the march the simplest,
method of constructing a temporary
kitchen is to place a number of ket
tles on the ground in two parallel 1
rows, block the leeward end of the
passage thus formed with another ket-i ■
tie. and light a tire In this Improvised
trench. As soon as the fire has been
started one or two rows of kettles!
can be placed on top of those already
tn position
If the stay at a particular spot is
likely to be for any appreciable length 1
of time, a good field kitchen i* im- ^
prevised hv digging a narrow trench
for the tires and placing the camp
kettles above this Sometimes a trim ■
ney is built of sodV*
For a stay of three or four days,
regular “field ovens" are constructed. 1
An arch of sheet iron is erected, and 1
on top of this a layer of clay is plied
With Uua_4uen ItJs possible V'j.ifiiS'
