British Air Raid Wardens Arriving at a Phoney Air Raid Scene, 1940. Second World War. 'A Britain intensely conscious of her duty, but as yet neither geared to it, nor fully aware of its full implications. Air raid precautions, yet no air raids. Yet out of these crude beginnings was forged a civil defence organisation second to none'. From "Time To Remember - Run Rabbit Run", 1940 ( Reel 2); documentary film about events of early months of 1940.
