We slept in the fields, just anchored down
for an hour or so, and then moved again.
Our food was dished up from rat ion carts
which we ate on the march. Bully beef was
issued in seven‘pound t ins .

that weight so we used t o open our t ins and share
it out. That was our rat ion, bully beef,
biscuits and water:
No t ime for anything else,
seven‘pound t ins!
