British People Walking by Heavily Sandbagged Buildings, 1940. Second World War. 'A Britain so encrusted with sandbags that there had been complaints from the military, there were few left to protect the fighting soldier. 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.
