Sweeter side of soldiering

Cadbury employee Sandra Burke packs bars of the Australian Army's ration pack chocolates as they come off the production line at the Cadbury factory in Claremont, Tasmania.

Members of the Army's 611 Supply Company from Hobart visited the factory recently to see how the 24.4 tonnes of chocolate is turned into 469,776 bars.

Casting a keen eye over the procedure is Second Lieutenant Helen Pendlebury, of Shepparton, and Staff Sargeant Mannie Van Rijswijk, of Tea Tree Gully, Tasmania.
