If you’re in a trench in wartime and fist sized object comes flying in from the direction of the enemy forces you’re going to dive away from it and take cover. But then the thrown object turns out to be a can of food, not an explosive.
So how do you respond to the next thrown item? Do you still dive for cover?
The rational answer is “yes.” The starving soldier desperate for a break from the fighting answer was not.
Plus trenches have dugouts and the like. You can imagine that after the first round of corned beef, people were probably waking their mates up, yelling at everyone to get out here and see what’s happening.
