"In the early days we used to carry the bins on our shoulders. Therefore, when we emptied the bins you used to see the paperwork coming out, and the photographs. You didn't find them all the time because the only time you were aware of some was when they started to be mashed up." Pictured here is a Royal Engineer in a 'home' made winter coat - probably a goat - taken in the winter of 1914/15 before winter coats were issued to soldiers Picture: MERCURY PRESS
