Spread the camo net over the jeep.
Put the machine-gunner on lookout/radio watch.
Find 3-4 small rocks and set them in a rough circle (well away from the camo net) while the driver gathers twigs and dry grass.
Pile up the twigs and grass in the center of the stone circle and light 'em up.
Take an empty full size ration tin can with its lid still attached at one point - ideally a tin that held peas - don't use one that held meat products -you can't get the grease off.
Fill the can with water from the water jerrican to about 5cm from the rim of the can.
Wedge the can between the rocks over the burning twigs.
Open the packet of fine gound "Turkish" coffee and cardamom.
Put three heaping racing teaspoonfulls of coffee into the can.
Stir in so the dry coffee grounds floating at the top don't burn on the side of the hot tin can.
Fold your sunhat in readiness.
Stare intently into the tin can as a chocolate-coloured froth begins to form on the surface of the brew.
At a certain point the froth will begin to rise like an elevator.
Using your hat to protect your fingers and thumb, grip the lid of the tin can and lift it carefully off the fire.
The level of the brew and froth will subside.
Return the can to the fire and wait for it to rise again.
When it starts to rise, lift off the fire again and let it subside.
Repeat one more time.
After the third time put the can on the ground, add 3 teaspoons of white sugar and stir.
Wait 3 minutes for the contents of the brew to settle.
Set out your coffee glasses (Duralex style but nowadays made in Turkey).
Carefully pour the coffee into each glass while trembling your hand to ensure each glass gets some of the froth.
Call over your comrades.
One will open a packet of chocolate wafers - he won't need to be told.
The other will proffer his pack of Marlboro.
Light up. Hold your glass. Sip. Inhale. Sip.
This is one of the best moments of your life and will become a source of great nostalgia.
