EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative menu card dates back to 17 November 1915, during a pivotal moment in world history when the RMS Olympic, a proud vessel of the White Star Line, was repurposed from its usual passenger service to transport troops to the Gallipoli campaign in the First World War. The menu, adorned with the White Star Line's iconic Auerbach emblem, reflects the wartime atmosphere of the era. The offerings on this menu were prepared for the officers of the regiment aboard the ship, showcasing the impressive catering capabilities even in the midst of conflict. The first course featured a hearty soup, followed by poached fish with a tangy sauce, roast meat with seasonal vegetables, and a crisp salad. The grand finale was a delightful pudding, accompanied by a scoop of ice cream to provide a sweet ending to the meal. The menu card offers a glimpse into the daily life of the officers on board, providing a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the war. Despite the challenging circumstances, the White Star Line ensured that their passengers, now soldiers, were provided with nutritious and appetizing meals to keep their spirits high during their journey. This menu card is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who served during the First World War and the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of war.
