Summary[edit]

Description
English: A sergeant cooking in a small mess tin on top of a brazier made of a square tin with holes in it. The brazier is set up on a couple of empty food cans, one of which is labelled 'beans'. Other cooking pans and some more empty tin cans lie around him. There is also what appears to be a tin of nuts and bolts.

Another photograph, 'Where Tommy rests' shows this same man and others cooking and relaxing. From both photographs, it would appear that they had used sandbags and tarpaulins to make small shelters behind the reserve trench. Like all experienced soldiers, they used everything they could find to make themselves more comfortable.
[Original reads: 'A sergeant cooking his dinner.']
