Members of a 'field mess'. The only hot meals that soldiers ever got. I ate at several field messes during deployments, and I would defend those 'bakers' with all my heart.

Indeed a hot meal was often a luxury, even the crappy food they served at least tasted better when hot. I know I sure got my fill of "C" and "K" rats (rations in a dark green can) while in the military and deployed.
