Okay. Need to know a question about sub crews in WW2.
Particularly, the cook and the stewart (mess attendant).

Who did what with whom? What were the duties of these guys respectively?

Did they overlap? IOW, could or did one sailor perform both duties.

I need this info for research. And although, I've checked WW2 forums, Navy sites, etc. I don't get a clear picture or understanding.

If anybody can help, you guys are the ones! If you can't help, Lord help me!
