“Yesterday coming down from Verdun on a train of eighty wagons we were 22 hours on duty. Was called for 3 A. M. and of course wanted a bite to eat before leaving, so we went to the usual mess hall “greasey spoon” and were given a mess kit full of rice, no milk, no sugar, no bread and coffee, it was all gone. Some breakfast I’ll say.”
