Soldiers at camp pour bottles of beer into the 155mm powder canister to transport to the comrades
at the combat zone. Usually 10 canisters filled with water were supplied. Out of the 10 canisters at least
one canister was always filled with beer. The reason they used the 155mm powder canister was to prevent breakage when they were dropped from the birds to the rugged terrain.
