DDC: Dutch Oven Cooking During World War 1: Soldiers' Rations

On the frontlines during the heated battles of World War 1--what did our soldiers eat when the firing stopped? How did they prepare their food in such rough and war-torn terrain?

But in addition to that, participants will have the opportunity to actually prepare two traditional World War 1 recipes: maconochie stew and trench cake.
