Canteen - Y.M.C.A. Hotel Pavillon Paris

In her article "The Enlisted Men in Paris," Elisabeth Gilman says of this canteen: "From three to six in the afternoon and from eight to eleven in the evening men come for a cup of chocolate and a sandwich. For the boys are as hungry over here as at home. For the more purely social side we have a game party on Tuesday evenings to which we invite American girls whom we know, and where the boys greatly enjoy the informal fun ending with chocolate and cake."

circa 1918
