<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 269777, member: 121&quot;]We always tried to treat the enlisted men &quot;better&quot; than the brass............but it was difficult sometimes considering my grandfather&#039;s and father&#039;s ranks. Our billiard room became a sort of mini USO to the extent that we had a rotation of servants and family that had to be available until rather late into the night to accommodate some personnel. The one concession we had to make was to give the enlisted men meals in the morning room (with a family member present) as opposed to the dining room if there were more than one in residence at a time. We apologetically told them it was a space issue at the table..........but in reality we feared that many of them would be uncomfortable and possibly intimidated with the style of service in the dining room. To our credit, we NEVER fed &quot;our boys&quot; in the kitchen or servant&#039;s hall. Though there was the occasional &quot;pig&quot; I wished we had a trough for................</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I must stop this! All of this is intended for my forum, where it will be organized in context and be much more amusing and understandable.............[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
