Abstract

While the Australian Imperial Force of 1914–1918 experienced a significant shift from amateurism to professionalism over the course of the war in most areas, one crucial role not yet examined in the literature on the Australian Imperial Force is that of army cook. This article argues that their role was not taken sufficiently seriously during the Great War, leaving them effectively still amateurs at the end of the war. It explores the regulations for army cooks, the processes of selection, training and monitoring, as well as their performance in camps and in the field, and draws the conclusion that the army failed to professionalize role.

“一个没用的人”？1914–1918年AIF厨师和烹饪评估

虽然1914年至1918年的澳大利亚帝国军队在大多数地区的战争过程中经历了从业余到专业的重大转变，但关于澳大利亚帝国军队的文献中尚未研究的一个关键角色是陆军厨师。这篇文章认为，在第一次世界大战期间，他们的角色没有得到足够的重视，在战争结束时，他们实际上仍然是业余爱好者。它探讨了军队厨师的规定、选拔、培训和监督过程，以及他们在营地和实地的表现，并得出结论，军队未能使角色专业化。

期刊介绍： War in History journal takes the view that military history should be integrated into a broader definition of history, and benefits from the insights provided by other approaches to history. Recognising that the study of war is more than simply the study of conflict, War in History embraces war in all its aspects: > Economic > Social > Political > Military Articles include the study of naval forces, maritime power and air forces, as well as more narrowly defined military matters. There is no restriction as to period: the journal is as receptive to the study of classical or feudal warfare as to Napoleonic. This journal provides you with a continuous update on war in history over many historical periods.
