Page "Bovril" Paragraph 6

Bovril continued to function as a " war food " in World War I and was frequently mentioned in the 1930 account Not So Quiet ... Stepdaughters of War by Helen Zenna Smith ( Evadne Price ).

One account from the book describes it being prepared for the casualties at Mons where " the orderlies were just beginning to make Bovril for the wounded, when the Germans deliberately shelled the bearers and ambulance wagons as they were bringing the wounded into the hospital.
