The Quartermaster Corps is responsible for supporting the Army&#039;s supply, subsistence, and material needs, both in peace and war.</p><p>*While on watch, hot coffee is a real an&#039; necessary comfort. The heat was also good to keep your hands warm. No handle, so y&#039;must wrap at least one hand around the mug to drink from it, an&#039; often both were used. Picture a North Atlantic Convoy; January, at night, a sailor in a pea-coat stands bow-watch on each vessel... Brrr!</p><p>Watch mugs are life-savers, almost literally.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520564[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520565[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520566[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]520567[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
