Soup or gruel was provided for some of the Allied troops, along with the usual hard bread, salted meat, and whatever potatoes or other vegetables could be secured from undestroyed farms. Occasionally they could find live poultry while moving through the countryside.

Where US troops were on the march, away from any field kitchen, they sometimes brought the squad "Reserve Ration" consisting of about 3 pounds of food: corned beef or bacon, hardtack biscuits, coffee, and some sugar and salt.

Did the soldiers in World War 1 eat stale food?

No they did not. The actual meal arrangements was that a pair of soldiers would be sent from the front line to some of the auxiliary trenches (the trenches located behind), they would then move barrels containing the food (usually a form of stew that was prepared every meal time) to the front line. If one person tripped or the stew was spied, the soldiers went without. Hope this answers it!
