Indeed. I was going to post a question as to what all thought was "more" important (since they all were important), to the success of an Army in WW 2. Fuel ? Boots ? Ammunition ?, or Spam ?
It must have been a laugh a minute being in the Civil War. Union soldiers tried different means of freeing their occupied hardtack from its unwanted tenants. The most successful method was to drop the crackers teeming with weevils into hot coffee and skim off the drowned wildlife when it floated to the surface. The weevils left no discernible taste in the softened bread now flavored with coffee
Thanks Slipdigit. I have a special interest in the Graves registration Companies. Not much can be found. NARA holds vast archives but so far I have not had the resources to go there and dig through them. These guys did a hard job. I am sure not many men envied them....
I certainly would not have wanted the job. I had a teacher in nursing school that was in graves registration in Vietnam and he told us about his duties. Not something I would have volunteered for.
