246357 L/Cpl. Eric Bedford British Army 107th Field Company Royal Engineers from:Leeds I was teamed up with a guy called Boris, clearing minefields after landing in Italy. We took turns on the sweeper at about 7 minute intervals, as there was so much shrapnel around and you had to concentrate hard to differentiate between mines and other debris. Having finished my stint, I handed the detector to Boris who spent several minutes plotting and marking a safe path through the minefield, without finding a single mine. When it was my turn to take over again, I checked the equipment only to find we had spent the last 7 minutes wandering through the minefield with the detector switched off!
