![RAB diary Wednesday August 7, 1918, Graudenz: "vegetables, chiefly turnips and mangels"](http://raburnard.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/RAB-1918-08-07.jpg)
Wednesday. August 7th. Wrote home interesting facts [code] as to the abundance of food. The varicose vein seems to be diminishing in size, happily.
We seem to be coming in lately for a large amount of vegetable soups; fresh vegetables, chiefly turnips and mangels; my particular abomination of course. It is usually nick-named Fresh Fruit – amongst us. Nowadays I only visit the dining hall for barley, semolina, and potatoes.
