Hi Danny
I don't remember the name but I do remember getting food at most times of the day in Crossmaglen. A hell of a place but the company was good. I have to hand it to you and the others for some good food after long patrols, usually at any time of the day or night. Long 8 hour patrols starting at 11pm and back for breakfast. Thanks for keeping us fed.
