Great write-up and group! Thanks for posting.

It looks like it did but I don’t know much about it

I love the US restaurants though. Customer Service is fantastic. But bloody hell - it takes the waitress 10 minutes to tell you all the condiments/sauces and options. Here, it’s “You want salt and pepper with that”. We have just had Costco arrive here. Their bread and buns last weeks because of the preservatives!

He was indeed a chaplain. As of December of 1944 he was stationed at Ordnance Depot 0-629 in Lancashire, England.

I think the giant serving sizes are a restaurant thing mostly, though it's part of that farmer tradition, i think. I avoid overprocessed to steer away from sugar, carbs, and salt. Processed foods here have entirely too much sodium. 

I should add that there are service numbers available for these men above, if you need them.

Nah Mate - it’s the way your food is so over processed. And the serving sizes. I always put on weight during my US trips. PS - Parsnips were regarded here as pig fodder until some boutique chef resurrected them as Gucci ingredients. Recommend you try them with gravy!

The mighty BAR. I have narrowly avoided many a punch up with Americans during my trips to various Militaria and Gun shows by asserting that the Bren was sooooooo much better an LMG. And that the only reason US Vets were so enamoured with the BAR was that they’d never fired a Bren. Basically, many a convivial social evening has turned into a verbal equivalent of the Battle Of Bunker Hill as a result.
