British army cookbook

[RattlesnakeJack]

Here is something which may be of interest to Victorian-era cooks and military re-enactors alike - a relatively slender volume (a bit over 50 pages) published by the British War Office in 1878, entitled "Instructions to Military Cooks in the Preparation of Dinners at the Instructional Kitchen, Aldershot". (Established during the Crimean war in the early 1850's, Aldershot Camp became the primary military training base for the British Army.)

I will add that to the file of the 1895 U.S. Army Cook's Manual someone previously made available. It was 400 pages, though, but interesting none the less.
Thanks RSJ
