Why Fish & Chips?
The President of the Federation of Fish Friers discovered an interesting fact. ‘FISH’ and ‘CHIPS’ had played a significant role in ensuring the safety of our troops whilst on foreign soil.
When a soldier was aware of others in the vicinity but unaware of whether they were friend or foe he called out ‘FISH’. If the response was ‘CHIPS’ he could be pretty certain that this unseen person was a ‘friend’. If no response was received then it would be highly likely that there was a ‘foe’ nearby and extreme caution was essential.
