About the talk: The Great War was known as the 'War of the Longest Purse' but eventually every purse runs out of money so every little saving counts. This talk examines the work of Salvage from its small beginnings at battalion level to the creation of a giant corporation controlled by GHQ. It deals with salvage during hostilities and the colossal often forgotten task of the clean-up afterwards.
