STRANGE FINDS THAT GO TO THE

SALVAGE · ·DUMP: · <a

In the early days of the war a salvage dump was subject of curiosity, and frequently of ridicule. It was something new, unknown, and more or less untidy. the soldier laughed at it, bus later he and his officers found it a handy place when stores or equipment were short. Even brass-hats used to walk about a dump, tapping things with inquiring annes, asking, What is this? and "Where does this come from?"

A salvage company moves and works with a division. It will have a central dump as near as possible to a light rail: way, where all stuff is brought and sorted for despatch to the proper quarters, there to be examined. cleaned, remade, melted down, and treated in such a way that almost everything is used-except the smell.
