EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of men in uniform, huddled around a mobile field oven during the chaotic operations of World War I. Dated circa 1914, the scene takes place on the grounds of the HMS Fred Carno, with the chalked words on the oven serving as a humorous reminder of the unpredictable nature of wartime life. The men, wearing peaked caps and holding various tools such as a butcher's cleaver, potato peeler, spud basher, and vegetable chopper, are busy preparing meals for their comrades. The portable oven, with its wickerwork basket and steam escaping from the chimney, is an essential part of the culinary efforts during this period. In the background, a Royal Navy motorcycle with sidecar is parked, adding to the sense of mobility and adaptability required during the First Great War. The combination of the mobile field oven and motorcycle is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the personnel in the face of challenging circumstances.
