Some of the last flotsam retrieved from Alfred J Parkers........

[Roger Payne]

Not so long ago a major UK deactivated weapons supplier was burning Bren chests simply because most people didn't want the chest with their Bren, & they simply didn't have the space to store them. They gave me a number, & also let me scrabble about in their grounds where they'd had the bonfire on my hands & knees so that I could fish out some of the furniture!

I am not proud......
