Avoiding an Army marching on an empty stomach is the job of chefs like Private Chris David at Patrol Base Wahid - a British and Estonian base on the edge of green zone in Afghanistan.

He and other chefs have to conjure up three meals a day for around 140 hungry troops against a backdrop of almost unbearable heat.
