Soldier's Old Clothes Keeps War Economy Brisk in Dewsbury
The West Riding woollen district and Dewsbury depot drive a wartime program turning soldier garments into new textiles. Since May 1916 the Dewsbury operation processed 700,000 trousers, 600,000 tunics, 550,000 puttees, and other items, with rags valued at over 750,000 pounds and potential national gains around 700,000 pounds. Women sorters and soldiers handle packing while Army Ordnance supervises. The program saves money and supports hospitals and factories alike.
