Show SOME KITCHEN. Many women cooks, as well as men cooks, will gasp at the figures of one of the largest camp kitchhens maintained in France during the late war. Here is how the mess sergeant puts it: "The kitchen range was 9 2S feet wide and 1358 feet long. Eighteen firemen kept it hot. There There were 519 cooks and 70 0 K. P's. (Kitchen Police.) We mashed potatoes with a pile driver; coffee we ground with a 350-horse, high-power high-power motor. Dirty pans were hauled haul-ed out in railroad cars. As mess sergeant ser-geant I rode up and down the kitcb en on a motorcycle shouting orders through a megaphone. When we mixed flapjacks, we mixed the batter in 12 concrete mixers." |
