Who cooked the meals during World War 1?
I don't know where you mean or what people group you mean. On the war front the soldiers ate rations or an army cook prepared food. At the home front the women went on cooking for families and restaurants and the men left behind. Any household that had a cook servant then that person did the cooking. ___ Meals in the trenches were prepared by the troops themselves. They didn't have cooks in the trenches with them. When they were behind the lines, they had access to cooks houses and proper rations. In the trenches, it was much more haphazard. They often didn't get enough or what they got was awful. The soldiers (on both sides) developed recipes to cope with the tedium and rather unappealing aspect of what they had. The biscuits and bread were stale and rock hard by the time it made it's way from the cook house to the trenches. Food shortages created other problems: By the winter of 1916 flour was in such short supply that bread was being made with dried ground turnips. Harry Patch, the last UK soldier who died recently said: "Our rations - you were lucky if you got some bully beef and a biscuit. You couldn't get your teeth into it. Sometimes if they shelled the supply lines you didn't get anything for days on end. There were five in a machine-gun team, and everything we had was shared amongst us. I used to get a parcel from home. My mother knew the grocer pretty well." If it weren't for the parcels from home, many a soldier would have gone hungry. Most of the food came from packages or tins, very little fresh food made it that far forward.
What weapons did they use at gallipoli?
Artillery like howitzers, naval guns from battleships and from the Turkish forts along the Dardenelles. Allied forces used .303 calibre Lee Enfield rifles. Some Turks used German Mausers. Machine guns for the Allies were usually Lewis guns. For the Turks there were some German Spandaus. There were also bombs. The Anzacs usually made home-made ones out of jam-tins and bits of metal.
How does Rin Tin Tin relate to World War 1?
Actually Rin Tin Tin was awarded to Lee Duncan, a member of the RAF during WWI for helping to save a kennel full of German Shorthair puppies, along with a female Alsatian. The female was Lisette, both puppies named after the dolls the French pilots carried in their jackets for good luck. Lisette died on the transport ship back to America. I am a retired insurance agent and I insured Lee's widow, Eva and his daughter, Carolyn, and have some memorabilia from his movie career, gifts from the family. Rin Tin Tins litter sister was actually named Nenette after the puppets and she died shortly after arriving in the US. I would love to discuss Rin Tin Tin history with you and see some of your memorabilia.
Christmas truce 1914?
On Christmas Eve and Christmas day, 1914, British and German forces at various places along the front met informally in no-man's land. In most places it began with each side singing carols and putting Christmas trees over their own positions. A few soldiers from each side ventured out and exchanged Christmas wishes and small presents and soon most of the soldiers on both sides were involved. Apparently in several places the trenches were empty while the opposing armies played football/soccer. Then on the 26th, the war resumed. There are many reports that French troops in some places also took part in the Christmas truce, although the French officially deny it. Even the British and German officers at the time officially denied that any such fraternization took place. Most reports agree the truce started when the Germans erected their traditional Christmas trees on the parapets and began to sing carols. (The British, French and Australian commands did not supply trees to their men.) The British responded with carols of their own. Soon a truce was offered by the Germans (and accepted by the British) to bury the decaying bodies in no-man's land, left from a raid about 3 days previous. The Germans helped the British bury the dead, and some officers exchanged gifts. The Germans mostly had sausages, and cheese, from home. The British donated brandy, chocolate or tinned delicacies from home. Some of the enlisted men traded what they had. . . tins of bully beef, pocket knives, even buttons from their uniforms. Eventually the troops went back to their trenches, although the caroling went on all night long. One German soldier, a famous opera singer, even serenaded the British troops. Many of the Germans had worked in London prior to the war, so they were able to sing in English. (The British even sang God Save the King to the Germans.)In some locations, the truce lasted throughout the following day, until the troops were rotated out. Then the fighting began again, in earnest. The Christmas Truce is a beautiful story of the triumph of human nature over war. A great book about it to read is Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce, by Stanley Weintraub.
