Army daze, The religious cook
Description
A scene in a mess hall in Vietnam. A soldier stands in front of a menu board, waiting to be served. The cook is saying to the soldier "Hold your Dixie Still son...We can't go wasting this great tucker!" while below the work the words 'They reckon he's a religious cook....It's either a burnt offering or a sacrifice!!!!' appear. The menu board contains such items as 'Soup: Cream of yesterdays'. In the background a soldier walks back towards camp.
