| Place: | Buxton |
| Property / Street / Road: | The Empire Hotel |
| Date: | 2 Nov 1914 - 3 Feb 1915 |
| Description/Historical Information: | Men standing in front of garage doors holding
assorted food, including raw meat/bacon, bread, butter and big jars
of preserves. Behind them is a dining area (the Mess), with laid
trestle tables. The large garage in the Hotel's grounds, where the Mess was, had a concrete floor. There was a plentiful water supply from the standpipes, so the whole place was swilled and scrubbed each day (WO 95/3025/3, Regimental War Diary, 1914 - 1916, TNA: section written Nov 1914).
