The Scamel three wheel Dust Cart in the foreground was similar to the grey painted one that was used as a converted Council Dustcart to an Ambulance the reason these were used was because the Dustmen could walk straight in as it was so low, so two men carrying a stretcher could carry it in.
When we were bombed out in the Blitz, we managed to dig ourselves out but my school pal was not so lucky he lived backing onto our house, he was dug out the last I ever saw of him was on that stretcher being put in the dust cart.
