An Army Marches On Its Stomach

After my husband went back to base yesterday he phoned to say he had arrived and then he phoned in the evening to say ‘hi’. He sounded tired and told me they had been too busy to eat all day but a woman had just arrived to make them fresh pita with zatar

My husband just phoned me and said that yet again they had been so busy all day they were going to eat for the first time at 17:00. At least he sounds less exhausted today.

The brothers-in-law of a friend we served with have turned up with meat, hummus and all the trimmings and are doing a barbecue for nearly 100 soldiers. Sounds delicious.

They may not eat often but they eat well!
