  1. My late father had a friend who served in the post war British Royal Navy, my father was in the Royal Artillery at the time so he had yet to enjoy this beverage. They were to meet up so his friend saved up his rum ration for the occasion. They both spent the evening drinking this rum and my father said he had never felt so ill. Rum was, on occasion, issued to the British Army in France in WW1. The problem could be that if the supply sergeant was a teetotaller then you could be issued with powered soup instead.
