At a table in the half-dark canteen a young man with swept-back hair bends over a large aluminium bowl and spoons up porridge, a second bowl beside it; an older man in a cap sits in the foreground with his back to the camera, and another hand reaches in at the edge of the table. According to the source young and elderly miners sit at the tables of the canteen and eat porridge from aluminium bowls. Miners received extra rations as heavy workers, and still the hunger held down the output of the pits.
