In all the military names for shipboard or field rations, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "Train smash".

This is food prepared in the rain by cursing Quartermaster-Sergeants and unwilling assistants at 0500 hours (more commonly referred to as "Oh-f*** hundred", or perhaps 0600, otherwise "Oh-s*** hundred") for four score or more soldiers to eat in a hurry.

The ingredients are: fried eggs (runny), fried tomatoes (red and very runny) and baked beans, all served in one mess tin. Two unbuttered slices of bread were provided to mop up.

If this sort of catering wasn't available, the alternatives came from "rat-packs" (ration packs). Bacon-burgers (about 50% grease or fat), dog biscuits (otherwise known as oatmeal blocks), "cheese posessed" (processed cheese) are some of the delicacies I remember.

PS I can spell "cemetery" - G-R-A-V-E-Y-A-R-D. Easy.
