SOME OF THE 5000 “CLEANER-UPPERS” BEGIN WORK. — 5000 men of the Pioneer Corps marched into the most heavily bombed areas of East and South-east London, shouldering their picks and shovels. They are the great army of “cleaner-uppers" who are tackling the big job of clearing up bomb damage. When the Pioneer Corps was formed, several men employed by a large firm of contractors joined up. The same men are now engaged as bomb damage “cleaneruppers,” and when they arrived on the job they discovered that their old firm was supplying trucks, cranes, etc., for their use. They are seen here, back at the old job.
