Expeditionary Force 'B" Company troops affectionately referred to as 'The Honey Bees' proudly reckon they earned their name from their ability to swarm the enemy, sting them hard and get away quick. Other say they got the name during what became known as the "Battle of the Bees". Whatever the origin of their moniker, their cook was a great advocate of the medicinal benefits of honey for the men in the Mess. He always had a ready supply and his honey coated popcorn was a particular treat produced on special occasions.
