Reminds me...

one of our family stories which may have firm basis in truth....

My Grandad worked in a west country ROF for some time in the 50s or the 60s...

A catasthrophic industrial accident occurred - ie, an explosion.

Because grandad was an older ex army man and had seen extensive action at Dunkirk,
it was assumed by management that he would be the 'right man' to task with recovering and bagging body parts...
