Navy CooksThis is a photograph of my grandmother Elsie Ritchie (nee Mair) who was born in Portsoy, married in Fraserburgh. In WW1 she was a cook.
In the photograph she is front left, born 1894, she looks mid twenties so probably 1916 or 17. I think she was a civilian cook attached to the Navy.

I wonder if this was taken in the old naval canteen on the Recreation Ground? It was a large wooden building and no doubt contained a kitchen for providing food for the sailors.
