Here for the first time, is the complete story of the wartime wool appraisement schemes, worth 600 million pounds. One of the most remarkable aspects of the schemes was that the entire acquisition of the Australian clips by Britain in the two world wars was accomplished without any official written documents, being on both occasions based solely on gentlemen's agreements.
