The cookers near Villers-Bretonneux

I have often suspected that Australian units select their cooks not on their ability as chefs but for the stories that can be told about them to other units.

Will Dyson, Australia at War, 1918.

Quirky army cooks fascinated Dyson and appear in several of his drawings. These works document his admiration for their key role in providing basic comforts to the fighting men.
