German Field Kitchen for Shanghai

We understand that there is lying on one of the Hongkong wharves at the present time a very interesting war trophy which was salved by the 113th Company of the Chinese Labour Corps and will in time be presented to our local defence body. the Shanghai Volunteer Corps. What makes the trophy of special interest is the fact that it formerly a German field kitchen. When the kitchen is brought to Shanghai. we shall find written on it the following words:

"Genaax Frevp Kircnes Salved near Lille by 113 Coy C.L.C.

Nov, 1918, Presented to the Shanghai Volunteers by this Company.

As a Memento, of the Great War And the part taken by the §.V.C.

Upon inquiries made we are informed that no official notification as to its presentation has been received by the local headquarters lof the Shanghai Volunteer Corps.
