Mobile Canteen
A mobile canteen at the Anzac Horse Show during World War I. This charming photograph captures a soldier collecting refreshments from the back of a converted truck -- a small but vital morale booster behind the lines. Mobile canteens brought comfort and a taste of normality to troops in the field, and this image reminds us that even in wartime, the simple pleasures mattered most.
