    A poster issued in 1940 warns civilians of sensible precautions to take before bed. Opening the windows and inner doors reduced the blast damage if a bomb went off nearby, water and sand were in case of fire, and the gas mask, clothes and torch were kept handy in case a trip to the air-raid shelter was necessary.
