A motor-mounted field kitchen, captioned as the Army motor kitchen of a Mrs. Hoares and the YMCA, sets this view apart from the other automobile pictures on this board. The Bain News Service caption data is marked as unverified, and the negative carries no date, so the name and the exact circumstances remain uncertain. Mobile canteens like this were used by the Young Men's Christian Association and other relief groups during the First World War to bring hot food and coffee to soldiers at camps and near the front, which suggests that period. The glass-plate format is typical of the press photographs the Bain agency distributed in the early twentieth century.
