TRAVELLING KITCHENS.
A travelling kitchen must be the most popular object to a soldier next to his rifle. Hunger or improper food does not improve the fighting qualities of a map. Feed Tommy Atkins well and he will enter a battle with redoubled zest. It is very pleasing lo realise, from a glance at our funds, that generosity in one direction noes not preclude liberality in another.
The response to the appeal for money to provide travelling kitchens for the Second Light Horse and 25th Battalion of Infantry has been good, but nevertheless it must be pointed out that if our troops are to leave with these useful kitchens contributions must come “thick and fast.”
