What does the phrase chief cook and bottle washer mean?

My Dad used this term quite often and it seems to be a "phrase" from that Generation....WWII vets. I always thought he was referring to a Chief Cook and Bottle washer...meaning both jobs applied. I originally thought the term was "Chief Cook and bottleneck washer", but when researching, could not find the bottleneck included. I was checking because I wondered if perhaps the bottleneck referred to a beer bottle!
