| These London school children are in the midst of an air raid drill ordered by the London Board of Education as a precaution in case an air raid comes too fast to give the youngsters a chance to leave the building for special shelters. In the event an air raid would arrive without warning, they are ordered to go to the middle of the room, away from windows, and hold their hands over the backs of their necks. Here students practice for the real thing. | |
