Response 114 Bully Beef, Biscuits And Bullets The Food Of WW1

What food did the soldiers of the First World War endure – or sometimes enjoy? Let's take a look at some of the staple food dished up to the men and women who went to fight for King and Country.

This short talk covers examples of the daily fare, a couple of actual recipes and anecdotes from personal accounts of those who served.

Presented by historian Raymond Butler.
