I just killed four old sheep so have mutton on the menu for months ahead. Well, a lot of sausages anyway. |

I have a sheep in the freezer as well, tasty stuff. I wonder what the navy did with the 5% they freed up. Added it to the rum ration? |

What strikes me is how little naval correspondence has changed in nearly 100 years. A few tweaks, to be sure, but its format is very similar. |

I recall reading a letter home from a USN officer bragging that his ship had left port after a wartime refit in New Zealand with "…5 different kinds of meat aboard, ram, lamb, SPAM, sheep and mutton!!" Oh well, more'n 5% sure, but, there was a war on after all… |

Oh the horror,how are the lads going to do without the rank oily mutton stew?Mutton offsets the flavour of diesel fuel and bunker oil. |
