Cover worn and soiled with some edge tears creasing and chipping. It gives instructions on how to position and put together an Anderson Shelter. The shelter was sunk into the ground and is a logical precursor to the Cold War Fallout Shelters.

Illustrations go from page 6 through 16 Among the aspects addressed in the illustrations are methods for drainage Terraced Houses Semi-detached Houses Illustration of major individual parts Erecting the back arch Frame arrangement Views from the inside and completion of the earth cover. Air raid shelters are structures for the protection of non-combatants as well as combatants against enemy attacks from the air. They are similar to bunkers in many regards although they are not designed to defend against ground attack but many have been used as defensive structures in such situations. Before WWII the U.K. had difficulty choosing the location of air raid shelters. During WWII many types of structures were used as air raid shelters such as cellars German Hochbunkers basements and underpasses. The U.K. began building street communal shelters as air raid shelters in 1940. Anderson shelters designed in 1938 and built to hold up to six people were also in common use in the U.K. Indoor shelters known as Morrison shelters were also in use. Prior to World War II in May 1924 an Air Raid Precautions Committee was set up in the United Kingdom. For years little progress was made with shelters because of the apparently irreconcilable conflict between the need to send the public underground for shelter and the need to keep them above ground for protection against gas attacks. In February 1936 the Home Secretary appointed a technical Committee on Structural Precautions against Air Attack. By November 1937 there had only been slow progress because of a serious lack of data on which to base any design recommendations and the Committee proposed that the Home Office should have its own department for research into structural precautions rather than relying on research work done by the Bombing Test Committee to support the development of bomb design and strategy. This proposal was eventually implemented in January 1939. They also decided to issue free to poorer households the Anderson shelter and to provide steel props to create shelters in suitable basements. The Anderson shelter was designed in 1938 by William Paterson and Oscar Carl Karl Kerrison in response to a request from the Home Office. It was named after Sir John Anderson then Lord Privy Seal with special responsibility for preparing air-raid precautions immediately prior to the outbreak of World War II and it was he who then initiated the development of the shelter. After evaluation by David Anderson Bertram Lawrence Hurst and Sir Henry Jupp of the Institution of Civil Engineers the design was released for production. Anderson shelters were designed to accommodate up to six people. The main principle of protection was based on curved and straight galvanized corrugated steel panels. Six curved panels were bolted together at the top so forming the main body of the shelter three straight sheets on either side and two more straight panels were fixed to each end one containing the door—a total of fourteen panels. A small drainage sump was often incorporated in the floor to collect rainwater seeping into the shelter. The shelters were 6 feet high 4.5 feet wide and 6.5 feet long. They were either buried 4 ft deep in the soil and then covered with a minimum of 15 inches of soil above the roof or in some cases installed inside people's houses and covered with sandbags. When they were buried outside the earth banks could be planted with vegetables and flowers that at times could be quite an appealing sight and in this way would become the subject of competitions of the best-planted shelter among householders in the neighborhood. The internal fitting out of the shelter was left to the owner and so there were wide variations in comfort. Anderson shelters were issued free to all householders who earned less than £5 a week equivalent to £320 in 2020 when adjusted for inflation. Those with a higher income were charged £7 £440 in 2020 for their shelter. One and a half million shelters of this type were distributed between February 1939 and the outbreak of war. During the war a further 2.1 million were erected. Large numbers were manufactured at John Summers & Sons ironworks at Shotton on Deeside with production peaking at 50000 units per week. The Anderson shelters performed well under blast and ground shock because they had good connectivity and ductility which meant that they could absorb a great deal of energy through plastic deformation without falling apart. Because of the large number made and their robustness many Anderson shelters still survive. Many were dug up after the war and converted into storage sheds for use in gardens and allotments.

Mason Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford and was the work of a number of contributors whose names are on p. 347. The book was for the use of persons in H. M. Service only and must not be show or made available to the Press or to any member of the public. Fep has stamped statement "To be kept under lock and key when not in use." There is also a longer stamped statement entitled Conditions of Release what amplifies the control conditions for this item. In 1915 a Geographical Section was formed in the Naval Intelligence Division to write Geographical Handbooks on various parts of the world. The purpose of these handbooks was to supply by scientific research and skilled arrangement material for the discussion of naval military and political problems as distinct from an examination of the problems themselves. The old handbooks had been extensively used in the Second World War but experience showed both their value and their limitations. The old series did not cover many of the countries closed affected by the Second World War. There a new series was initiated resulting in a new set of books produced in the Naval Intelligence Division by trained geographers drawn largely from the Universities. The books follow in general a uniform approach and are illustrated by numerous maps and photographs. These are designed first to provide for the use of Commanding Officers information in a clear and comprehensive form about countries they may interact with. Secondarily these works supplied material for orientation lectures on the country for a variety of naval personnel. United Kingdom, The Admiralty, Naval Intelligence Division hardcover

Sheet is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches folded in half with printing on all four sides/pages. Sheet has wear soiling and some staining. Some creasing noted.

On the last page there is a note at the end identifying the ;evacuable' areas under the Government Scheme which includes a long list of locations from which there may be some evacuations. Air Raid Precautions ARP refers to a number of organizations and guidelines in the United Kingdom dedicated to the protection of civilians from the danger of air raids. Government consideration for air raid precautions increased in the 1920s and 30s with the Raid Wardens' Service set up in 1937 to report on bombing incidents. Every local council was responsible for organizing ARP wardens messengers ambulance drivers rescue parties and liaison with police and fire brigades. From 1 September 1939 ARP wardens enforced the "blackout". Heavy curtains and shutters were required on all private residences commercial premises and factories to prevent light escaping and so making them a possible marker for enemy bombers to locate their targets. With increased enemy bombing during the Blitz the ARP services were central in reporting and dealing with bombing incidents. They managed the air raid sirens and ensured people were directed to shelters. The evacuation of civilians in Britain during the Second World War was designed to protect people especially children from the risks associated with aerial bombing of cities by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk. Operation Pied Piper which began on 1 September 1939 officially relocated 1.5 million people. There were further waves of official evacuation and re-evacuation from the south and east coasts in June 1940 when a seaborne invasion was expected and from affected cities after the Blitz began in September 1940. There were also official evacuations from the UK to other parts of the British Empire and many non-official evacuations within and from the UK. Other mass movements of civilians included British citizens arriving from the Channel Islands and displaced people arriving from continental Europe. The Government Evacuation Scheme was developed during summer 1938 by the Anderson Committee and implemented by the Ministry of Health. The country was divided into zones classified as either "evacuation" "neutral" or "reception" with priority evacuees being moved from the major urban centers and billeted on the available private housing in more rural areas. Each zone covered roughly a third of the population although several urban areas later bombed had not been classified for evacuation. In early 1939 the reception areas compiled lists of available housing. Space was found for about 2000 people and the government also constructed camps which provided a few thousand additional spaces. The government began to publicize its plan through the local authorities in summer 1939. The government had overestimated demand: only half of all school-aged children were moved from the urban areas instead of the expected 80%. There was enormous regional variation: as few as 15% of the children were evacuated from some urban areas while over 60% of children were evacuated from Manchester Belfast and Liverpool. Over 3000000 people were evacuated. United Kingdom, Lord Privy Seal's Office unknown

Substantial tabular information. This work is Nineteenth in The Battery Press Reference Series. This is the British General Staff's intelligence manual for the German Army at the beginning of World War I. Originally printed in 1912 and amended to August 1914 this reference volume has chapters on the conditions of service organization and numbers available in peace and war administration of the Army and General Staff infantry cavalry artillery technical troops supply and medical services tactics signalling and colonial troops. Also included are appendices giving military pay military terms and topographical signs and abbreviations. This handbook was intended for the use of officers who desired to obtain a comprehensive view of the German Army during peace-time or who may wish to follow its operations during manoeuvres or other training. The Fourth Edition of this handbook was completed after the passing of laws respecting the peace strength of the German Army up to 1915. The main effect of these changes in the law was to perfect rather than to increase the number of the larger units available on mobilization for the first line. Two new Army-Corps were created making 25 in all. Imperial War Museum (1-901623475)jointly with The Battery Press, Inc hardcover
