God bless them indeed.
One of my mates was on mine clearing duty in the Falklands after the war. His CO stepped on one in a supposedly cleared area and lost his leg. The lads collected it and put it in the freezer and when the chap was back on his foot they took a photo of him holding it (with a huge prideful grin) which was then sent back to his family. Gallows humour indeed.
