Description |
This amateur film was made over a period of several months by the talented Headmaster of Elworth School in South Cheshire, to illustrate school life during the Second World War. It shows the children donning gas masks and improving their skill in reaching the air-raid shelters in record time and disciplined order; knitting blanket squares; "digging for victory" in the school garden; practising first-aid; collecting waste paper and books; "saving for victory" by counting their National Saving Stamps. |
