Summary edit

Description
English: Soldiers in a trench in the snow. A sergeant and a corporal are doling out hot stew from a large metal canister into individual mess tins and handing it out to their men. The stew would have been made in the field kitchens behind the lines and carried up the trenches.

In reality, the men in the trenches rarely got hot food as it was often difficult to carry the food up if shelling was bad. Many accounts describe trying to make a meal with hard tack biscuits and tinned meat, the staple emergency rations carried by each soldier.
[Original reads: 'The hot stew in the trenches.']
