You're Top Poster: #5  | I liked Mark Clarks comment that he envied the Germans supply system, he had to clothe 29 different nationalities and provide suitable rations for 50 odd different religions!

You're Top Poster: #5 | I know that this not WW2 related but here is the daily ration for both horse and trooper taken from the Standing Order of the Dragoon Guards dated 1923. The rations include small beer, which was watered down beer! 46. — Warn the proprietors of billets of the quantity of forage and provisions required and the hour the men's dinners are to be ready, inspect the forage, see it is as good in quality as that usually supplied in barracks, and that there is the proper amount of it : — 10 Ibs. oats 12 Ibs. hay \ per horse per day. 8Ibs. straw) . The rations for the men are — 1 ¼ lbs meat. 1 ½ lbs bread. 1 Ibs potatoes. 2 pints of small beer. Water, salt, pepper and vinegar.
