ARMY RATIONS.

During my time as a soldier in the British Army I found myself on active duty in Northern Ireland for a period of four months in 1982. I was in West Belfast and this was not a good area to be at that time. My main job was within the confines of the base but once a week I used to go out on an overnight patrol.
