before they closed the the Army Depot in Memphis there was not consistancy
in "demil" of clothing; I saw class "A" green winter uniforms demilled by
cutting the buttos off them - of course the cutting of buttons was done in
such a manner as to leave big holes in the uniforms - then they sold the
buttons in a different lot. Other times they were sold by the thousands
still packed in shipping crates. Of course all of us have seen such
examples - saw what they said was 3500 pounds of brass band instruments that
had been "demilled" in other words turned from band instruments into crushed
brass.
