The holidays are an excellent time to eat, drink, and be merry. The soldiers training at Camp Lee (now Fort Lee) during World War I weren’t able to spend Christmas with their loved ones, but they did at least get an excellent meal and maybe some entertainment on the day. These menus and programs were collected by the Virginia War History Commission, who worked hard to commemorate the war and collect related resources in the following. Our Out of the Box bloggers will be taking a break until the new year, so happy holidays to all of you!
