The Protection Of Your Home Against Air Raids

As the threat of conflict again overshadowed Britain in the 1930s, the nation began to take measures to prepare itself for the possibility of war.

One of a series of official publications issued by the Home Office, The Protection of Your Home Against Air Raids (1938) offers a glimpse of the precautions all households were urged to take in the event of aerial attack.

Addressing problems such as "Things to get for your refuge-room" , "Things to do if there should ever be a war" and "What the head of the household should do", this faithful facsimile allows the reader a glimpse into the general public's experience of wartime Britain.
