Dave F Offline Senior Member Posts: 1099 Thank you received: 857	Help with question 5 please. Trade or calling. Possibly Cutter as the 2nd word? As always, your help will be most appreciated Dave...... You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Best regards, Dave Attachments:

davidh Offline Senior Member Posts: 365 Thank you received: 195	Dave - It looks like top cutter. Top cutting is the removal of a layer or layers of earth prior to construction or other activity. Nowadays it's all done mechanically but back then it would have been seriously hard graft! David The following user(s) said Thank You: Dave F
