Bantam Butt question No.1 Mk.III*

[Beerhunter]

It begs the question that if they were undernourished in civvy life, then just how did they survive on the Army rations.

Believe it or not, some of them were so undernourished they had to be brought up to weight and fitness before they could take the training. It shows how bad things were in civvy street, those chaps THRIVED on Army food. The same was true, but I believe to a lesser extent, in the Second World War.
