I read an account in a 1950s book by a British journalist about his experiences in the Korean War. He was getting close to the front, and everywhere there were signs saying “YOU ARE TRAVELLING SAFELY ON THIS ROAD COURTESY OF THE U.S. 2ND INFANTRY DIVISION – ‘SECOND TO NONE’, “THIS AREA WAS CLEARED OF THE ENEMY BY THE U.S. 2ND INFANTRY DIVISION – ‘SECOND TO NONE’ “ etc.etc
500 yards beyond the front line was a small Commonwealth Division radio shack, manned by a pair of young British Soldiers drinking Tea and Biscuits being served by their 5 captured prisoners. The 2 British Soldiers ere not even holding guns but their prisoners were visibly scared of Both . i noticed They had a crude, hand-painted sign on their shack” Titled “NONE”.
That is why *every* armoured vehicle in British service since 1935 has tea-making facilities on board.As Tra has long being suspected as the secrey magic potion of The British lol
In contrast, the M1 Abrams have only recently upgraded the small beverage cooler.
