Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Six flues from a group of Agas, which are arranged in a square in the middle of a wooden shed. On top of the Agas are big square metal tins with food piled over the edge of the dishes. The women all have implements sunk into the food like they are chopping it up. There are two soldiers standing in the kitchen with the women. One is uniformed and the other is dressed very informally. The four women are all shiny faced with their hair tucked up into 'mob- caps'. The are wearing big collared overalls on top of their clothes.

The logistics involved in supplying and cooking for such a vast number of men spread out over a distance was a complex task. It would have been slightly easier for those who were encamped behind the lines and so could be served by a canteen such as this. These women were probably employed from the people who used to populate the surrounding area.
