Terry_Reeves Posted 2 January , 2013 Share Posted 2 January , 2013 John I read it as being presented to the Belgian army, from the City of Manchester hence the Belgian soldier in the picture. TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 2 January , 2013 Share Posted 2 January , 2013 I'd guess the cooker in the photo must have been issued to a battalion of the Manchesters (and wouldnt I just love to know which). If I read the inscription on the cooker correctly that particular one went to the Belgian Army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ggilders Posted 5 March , 2014 Share Posted 5 March , 2014 As part of the 100th events a group has obtained 2 1918 dated field kitchens . In restoring them no cooking pans or covers are included.. would like to see pictures of what is being used in the reproduction that you have. I am going to see the one currently being worked on and will take pictures of all parts. Will provide pictures and anything else just send me an email. We only have the cookers but no limbers. The kitchens came from Western Canada and were possibly used by the North west mounted police. I look forward to receiving info. on this. Thank you Gary Gilders email ggilders@outlook.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaureenE Posted 6 March , 2014 Share Posted 6 March , 2014 Previous posts mention Soyer and the Crimea. There was a thread on the Victorian Wars Forum called Soyer's Culinary Campaign http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8686&p=42252 I provided a link for Soyer’s book Soyer's Culinary Campaign: Being Historical Reminiscences of the Late War, published 1857 which is available to read online on Archive.org https://archive.org/details/soyersculinaryca00soye Cheers Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonraker Posted 25 June , 2016 Share Posted 25 June , 2016 Postcard photograph taken in the Sutton Veny area, Wiltshire: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1418 Posted 26 June , 2016 Share Posted 26 June , 2016 Hi Moonraker Have you identified the unit. It does look like they are cooking on the march, although the cooker on the right has the door to the fire chamber open and the one closest to has the door and cinder flap closed. The water bottles also look like the aluminium pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted 26 June , 2016 Share Posted 26 June , 2016 Identifying units is not something I'm much good at, Dave, but the 12th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders were at Sutton Veny Camp from February to September 1915 and feature in other postcards of the camp.
