The men who served in the war could only eat tinned corned beef , rice , jam, cocoa, tea and what was known as Hard tack or Anzac wafer which was like a hard biscuit , with a long shelf life.
Many of the soldiers were surrounded by dead bodies and blood , which made them prone to diseases and infections , some of them are ,
Body lice
Trench foot

and the Spanish flu
These diseases took a lot of the lives of our soldiers while they were at war.
