Christmas Day Menu 13th Btn A.I.F. France 1917.
It was time to revisit this 98 years-old menu from the front.
My great-uncle Alan's copy of the hand-written and illustrated Christmas Day Menu, prepared by Australian officers of 'C' Company 13th Battalion, Australian Infantry Forces (AIF) in action in France 1917. A number of the officers signed the menu.
The dishes offered (overleaf) exhibit the sardonic humour of the troops, and have a topical and local flavour to them ie 'la bone de Somme', 'Vins de chlorine' , 'mitrailleur de Bullecourt', and of course Fromage Gruyere (aux shellholes et craters) etc.
The front illustration to the menu displays the British and Australian flags, the Company colours, a kangaroo and an emu.
The Christmas menu for the men and women of RAF Banff station during 1944. For wartime Britain it was quite a feast that was laid on, although it was back to work on the 26th and operations over the Norwegian coastline commenced once more.

Taking a leaf out of Ian DB's photostream and thought I'd upload a couple of wartime memorabelia relating to the former Coastal Command airfield, RAF Banff, home to the famous Strike Wing during the last 9 months of the war. The C/O of Banff, Max Aitken, is of the signatures at the bottom of the menu.
We had four meals a day using a cafeteria type system in a large dining hall with all other men in the Depot below the rank of Sergeant. Each squad had its allocated table. An Orderly Officer carried out meal rounds where you could complain about the food if you dared. Sometimes without warning the officer or an NCO would inspect your face and hands to ensure you were clean and tidy at meal times before entering the mess. You were not allowed to take food or drink from the dining room back to your barrack room. Several recruits, junior marines and musicians tried to take a mug of tea back to their room only to hear an NCO shout at them “to come here” and receive a reprimand or told to “ditch it” by the provost staff on traffic duties shouting from the main gate.
