(f) Arrangements should be made to insure that soup or some hot drink
be available for the men between midnight and 7 a.m.

Each company commander must see that timely requisitions for rations
are made and to have no delays at meal times. Food should be brought
up in tin boilers about the size of wash boilers so that two men can
handle one of them easily without a relief. In front line, men send
mess kit relayed from hand to hand to these boilers at stations in
each platoon or section and they are relayed back. Sometimes men in
the front line are relieved for a few minutes. Always carry 24 hours
rations.


Camping and Camp Sanitation.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

Great care must be exercised in selecting a camp site, but it must
never be forgotten that the tactical situation is of paramount
importance.

The following principles govern the selection:
(1) Sufficient supply of pure water.
(2) Good roads, but not too near a main highway on account of dust
and noise.
(3) Wood and forage must be obtainable.

The ground should:
(1) Give ample room without crowding.
(2) Have porous soil.
