I was told that this stuff was hard enough to crack your teeth because it was baked two or three times. The good thing was it never spoiled and could last decades.
At that time, the U.S. Army couldn’t afford to buy bread from vendors. So, all of the bread consumed by the troops had to be baked by post bakeries or the field bakery company.

Thank you, Cassie. You have a great blog too 🙂
Thank you!! : )
I like the warm colors and old-fashioned feel to the photo. Your comment about teeth-cracking bread 😯 was interesting.
I feel for the soldiers 😦
Love the colours here too. 🙂
I did well then, didn’t I ? 🙂
