Jef Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Nice photographs, Rick. German soldiers were not the only ones who appreciated a glass of beer. This pic came from a familyalbum of a Belgian WWI nurse. Hope these drinking Belgian soldiers match your thread.Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get them around Hanau, but we sure drank Graf dry and we carried more cases back that our trucks and tracks were more full going home than going to Graf. The guns went and returned by rail.

E Williams Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Weapon of the future... That reminds me of cases and cases of beer coming in on a pallet hanging from underneath a Chinook at our FWD firebase in Nam. One thing we had plenty of was beer, not so much potable water but beer we had plenty of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are bringing back memories. The picture on the left reminds me on the Sundry boxes we got occasionally filled with cigarettes, chocolate (we called them John Wayne bars) only John Wayne could eat them, writing material, toiletries; etc etc . I do believe the german soldier ate better than the other armies during the Great War, especially if you were on the Western Front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiva Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I agree, we had lots of beer in rusting cans, but the water supplied by the Engineers was slightly green and Kool-Aid killed the taste. But of course, I am referring to the R.V.N. Regards, Oiva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
