FITTING ON THE GASMASK AT THE OUT BREAK OF WORLD WAR TWO

Gas mask on the kids and grown ups fitting went on in schools and church halls until we all had these square cases with a smell of rubber and funny little nozzle on the front to let out the air.

We all took it in good humour and little did we imagine that many of us now young children so innocent of war.

A time would come for us to march away.

The change of the world we knew would be gone forever,

Priced for many with the sacrefice of life or one's youth.
