1. What soldiers ate during Gallipolli

2. Quote from Richard Reid, Gallipoli, 1915. “ We had porridge for breakfast this morning and milk, MILK mind you. Yes, golly, just fancy, condensed MILK. Jingo, if only some of those at home, who perhaps grumbled at their breakfast because the toast was cold, if only they knew what this little extra means to us, they would blush for shame and rightly so. Here they, like us, would eat anything.”

3. Soldiers ate what the Government gave them and what family and friends sent in care packages. The government food had to be non-perishable, which means it had to not go off and last a last a long time.

Someone offered me the bottom of a can of tea, which helped to was those tough biscuits down.” Sydney Lock, Gallipoli.
