Food

Of course we will be portraying men who were on the move & will be staying in the field, so food should be that of German iron rations or food scrounged from the local area. Please remember you would have to have been able to carry it in the field so use common sense (don't over do it). Of course all items must be wrapped in period style and have period labels (nothing modern).
