What did soldiers have for lunch in ww1?

During World War I, soldiers typically had a limited and unvaried diet for lunch, often consisting of hardtack (a type of dry biscuit), canned meat (like corned beef or bully beef), and sometimes vegetables or beans. These rations were supplemented by whatever fresh food could be sourced locally or brought in from supply lines. The quality and quantity of food varied greatly depending on the supply situation, with many soldiers facing shortages and sometimes resorting to foraging or trading for additional provisions. Overall, meals were designed for portability and long shelf life, rather than taste or variety.
