Article about rations in the Guardian

Hmm...I don't recall the IMP having a FRH :roll:.

It also looks like they completely ignored the difference between meals and complete 24h rations, and the Danish one seems to be missing half of its contents (even on the right picture).

The Norwegian seem´s strange to me. It´s just 1/3 of it and also has a FRH but no freezedried.

The description of the German EPa is poor. They mention only one entree, no tea/coffee, neither the sugar, creamer, salt aso...

I guess they only received the lunch part of the Norwegian one, it's an easy mistake since it's in its own package.

They have also fixed the images, they were all over the place when I posted it.
