Just catching up on a few older posts and found this quite interesting. Here is a bronze medal from the 1917 Show.

I wished I'd come across this when I was wriiting "Bully Beef & Biscuits". I do have stuff about soldiers growing their own (as well as the more formal large scale farming that went on in France) but this would have been a great story.
