FITTING THE GAS MASK 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 at that period in time although many of us young children so innocent of war.
A time would come for us to be old enough too march away.
The change of the world we knew would be gone forever,
Similar to the falling leaves of each summer.
And fading light of each days end.
Come the dawn of a new era.
Priced for many with the sacrifice of life and one's youth.
It made men from boys in very short time.
Freed girls to women and changed their lives to be equal among men to take a valued part in wartime Britain.
