This leaflet was dated 4th September, 1939, (the day after war was declared) by the recipient, Mr. L. Ridley, of Upper Selsdon Rd, Sanderstead. It comes from the collection of Robin Grainger.
The leaflet gives basic information about identity labels, air raid warnings, lighting restrictions, fire precautions, the closing of entertainment venues and schools, travel, telephones and telegrams, evacuation, food supplies, pension payments, and health insurance.
‘General Instructions’ concludes with this stirring message:
Do not take too much notice of noise in an air raid. Much of it will be the noise of our own guns dealing with the raiders. Keep good heart: We are going to win through.
