of home out to troops is of course an old custom. Apparently my late
great-grandmother sent a Christmas pudding (the old fashioned home made
sort boiled in a cloth) out to her brother when he was stationed in
Palestine during the post-war unpleasantness there. When it arrived it
was some months late and had a beard. They probably ate it anyway, they
breed hardy sorts in Ballyclare.
