One hundred years ago ... trench rats ... when protein was hard to come by ...
(Our soldiers had Bully Beef ... lots and lots of Bully Beef)
One of the few things I still remember about my grandfather, who served with the PPCLI in WWI, was his "fondness" of bully beef. He also told great stories of his time overseas while showing me his wounds and scars. Unfortunately he passed while I was still too young to appreciate what he was talking about.
The soldiers said that they had so much bully Beef that they dug cases of it in under their guns, to give them a firm platform in the Flanders mud.
I wonder if any Belgians are killed when plowing into unexploded Bully Beef tins?
