"Each operational patrol was also issued with one gallon of rum. The
jar was to be opened only to relieve pain in the event of injury or in
the face of imminent capture, in the belief that 'a tot or two might
help to extend the time an auxilier could be expected to resist
interrogation and torture'. In 1944 an ungrateful War Office demanded
the return of every jar of rum, unopened and still with an official
seal. It failed to notice that many, while still apparently sealed,
were filled with green tea – or something similar."
