Chinese and Indian brawl over disputed land

The Indian military declared on Sunday that there was a violent clash between the Chinese and Indian border guards. The soldiers of the two sides once fisted and threw stones at each other. The location of the conflict occurred in a disputed border area on the plateau. The Indian military did not provide exact numbers of wounded soldiers. Singapore ’s Lianhe Zaobao quoted anonymous Indian military officials as saying that four Indian soldiers and seven Chinese soldiers were injured in the incident.

Hey. Not only iron ore but also these. I searched in supermarkets and pharmacys but with no luck.
Finally found some in a Two Dollar shop where everything is made in China cause Australians don't know how to make them.
Send them logs of wood and this is what we get back.

I remember a factory near my high school where trees were turned into toothpicks. Perhaps the trees were not suitable for the building industry. It seemed crazy to me at the time. I bet that factory is long gone. Those were the days when western countries had factories for all kinds of things and unemployment was so low you could pick and choose your job.

They weren't actually tin, they were steel.

Southland Silver Beech was and still is used to make Ice Cream sticks, Hot Dog sticks, Tongue depressors, Coffee stirrers, toothpicks. https://www.starwood.co.nz/about.html

The factory still exists at a new location in the same city and the old one I remembered was converted into an art gallery in 2012.

Yes that's correct. From Wikipedia
The Brodie helmet is a steel combat helmet designed and patented in London in 1915 by John Leopold Brodie. A modified form of it became the Helmet, Steel, Mark I in Britain and the M1917 Helmet in the U.S. Colloquially, it was called the shrapnel helmet, battle bowler, Tommy helmet, tin hat, and in the United States the doughboy helmet.
