Allies Soldiering War

While I was looking at this Troop & His corporal by his side. A thought hit me about them. By this I mean look at how skinny this kid is. Now granted that Western Folks have ballooned up quite a bit in my lifetime. That and he is in a combat zone and all. But that still  is one mighty skinny soldier you got there. I guess that Bully Beef is not the be all and end all of food for these folks.
That and I would not bet on the possibility that his Great Grand Kids was and maybe still soldiering in that War Blighted area. (Just like our military, The British Army has  some Army Families with some VERY long Fighting Histories & Traditions)
