DescriptionFrying his bacon in a reserve trench (4688003263).jpg
English: Frying breakfast in the reserve trenches, Western Front, during World War I. A soldier frying food in a large frying pan over a brazier made of a tin drum with holes cut in it. A few other men are watching. When supplies were sufficient, charcoal was used for these small braziers as it gives a good heat, without much smoke. In an emergency some men found the hard tack biscuits could be used as fuel.
This reserve trench has a high protective rampart of sand-bags. Behind the trench there is a small water-filled drain or stream. The water was probably very contaminated with human sewage and mud.
