As war clouds loomed ever closer this set was issued to provide civilians with helpful information on building a bomb shelter , protecting windows from blasts and dealing with incendiary bombs. A large part of the set is devoted to gas masks but, luckily, there were no gas attacks on Britain during WW2. Many of the cards provide reassurances on how the home front would be protected, featuring anti-aircraft guns, searchlights, balloon barrages, air defence control rooms and fighter planes.
