From a 98-year-old gentleman with whom I am in contact I have acquired a copy of several guidance leaflets issued to householders during the blitz. They were delivered to a house in Sunnybank Road, Quinton in 1939-41. The one shown here, entitled "After The Raid", demonstrates a surprising level of official support available to those affected (and even a note on the allowance provided to widows of those men who have lost their lives as a result of Civil Defence activities - ARP, police, Home Guard, AFS/NFS etc). How it worked in practice one can only guess at. But let's hope it was a bit of comfort for those in the middle of a nightmare.
