personal effects

After receiving the report from the mountaineers, officers reached the site by helicopter to collect the remains and personal effects from the Ober Gabelhorn glacier.

Ours is an era when every shred of ephemera is for sale, so why wouldn’t a mourning son attempt to liquidate a killer’s personal effects to claim compensation for his mother’s death?

Under that water, buildings, statuary, coins and royal personal effects came to rest, and waited to be found.

But what really struck a collective chord were the images of abandoned shoes, backpacks, T-shirts, jeans and other personal effects.

It said the documents, which arrived in Argentina on board the Nan-a-Maru steamship from Tokyo in June 1941, had been declared as "personal effects" by the German embassy in Buenos Aires at the time.
