I well remember a family friend, a WW1 Western Front veteran who fifty years later still bristled at the fact that they buried men in their blankets and the cost of the blanket was deducted from whatever money was owed them.
I guess in those days they tried to balance the books and it was considered important to do so. Now we simply spend money we don't have.
The wheel turns. Priorities change.
