Extract

The value of the food of soldiers is an important subject, because it presents us with the results of a long experience in feeding adult men, so as to preserve them in health and strength.

In this country fixed rations of ¾ lb. meat and 1 lb. of bread are issued to the soldiers, and the rest of their food is furnished from their own pay.
