Soyer volunteered his services in the Crimea in 1855 to improve military cooking. This work gives a vivid account of his efforts to prepare nutritious meals for the soldiers using a newly invented portable field stove, which remained in use until the Second World War. In two visits to Balaklava, he, with Miss Florence Nightingale and the medical staff, reorganized the victualling of the hospitals. Consult Dictionary of National Biography.
