In 1942 when the Germans and Japanese
Were rampant across the world during WW II
The British needed to raise the moral
Of their troops who were under pressure in the field
So the government bought up
All the tea available on the planet
So their troops were supplied with tea
Making a brew up became important to them
They cooked it in the desert on a Bengazi burner
Or on ships in the Atlantic and Pacific
On battlefields across Asia and Europe
British soldiers brewed up
And their morale was improved
So the humble cuppa helped win the war.

Britishers were the true lovers of tea. They knew how to win the war. Excellent presentation. Thanks a lot, Paul.
