following ?: “Talk about your kitchens, they had them over there.
The ? which the cooking for... my contingent was...928 feet wide,
358 feet long... required eighteen firemen to keep it hot, 519 cooks
to prepare and ...police. We mashed potatoes with a pile driver and
ground coffee... the 350 H.P. Liberty motor... dirty pans were shot
out of the kitchen on railway cars. I rode up and ...the mess hall
on a motorcycle…orders through a megaphone…batter for the flapjacks
was mixed with twelve concrete mixers and we had a steam shovel moving
egg shells away from the door. Six kitchen... greased the griddles,
strapping ..rinds to their feet and sliding on them and the cakes
were turned with a steam shovel. Graycarek admits that he is unable
to locate the kitchen described and says the censor is to blame for
the failure. In the same letter the soldier gives some advice to
farmers about growing potatoes in dry places and says that the recipe
was given him by French peasants and that it never failed to produce

places, a small piece of onion should be placed in the ground so that
the eyes of the potato get water.
