    Just wondering if anyone has heard of a cooker manufacturer called Richmond?
    Or has any photos or catalogues of theirs?
    I'm researching military field cooking, which has sort of spilled over :woot:

    I have an extract of a 1910 manual that says
    Richmond Cooking Apparatus.

    Is comprised of two distinct parts.
    (A) consisting of oven and steam chambers, hot plate and boiler for generating steam, also providing water for tea or coffee.

    (B) portion consists of soup or vegetable boiler and stock pot. There are two sizes in use. The small apparatus will cook for 50 men.
    The larger cooker will cook for 150 men.

    Thanks

    It's too bad my grandfather died in 1973. He was the cook for a machine gun company in the US Army during WWI. If he didn't use one he knew who did. It doesn't look like the American ones I know, but I'm no WWI expert or even close.
