In a memoir excerpt, Empey describes the daily grind of trench service. He washes a muddy dixie, observes cooks and fellow soldiers, and endures taunts while tending duties, writing letters home, and planning the next meal amid rough camp life.
The piece recounts daily rationing tasks in a trench section. Lance Corporal enforces issue orderlies, describing how rations are gathered, distributed, and contested, with details on bread, jam, onions, cheese, and improvised meals. It notes front-line dangers and the lonely soldier appeal as perceptions of death loom unseen.
Mrs. MOM. Pann of Cleveland, wife of a noted tradesman, leads local efforts to aid the war garden program in France. She cooperates with Clare Burtag and the Red Cross unit at St. Gout in 1915, gathering volunteers and promoting planting campaigns to support soldiers overseas.
