Of course this update is much overdue. We are getting close to Canadian Thanksgiving now and I find myself digging through my grandfather's photos just as I am digging through piles of oak leaves in my back yard taking in all the little intricacies.
On that note, the following photographs depict scenes of military mealtime in the "mess hall." I have also scanned one of my great grandfather's origional ration cards. Ration cards allowed the government to distribute scarce goods in a fair and equitable fashion.
