Question

What did those without their own air raid shelter do for protection?​

Answer 1

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).

Explanation:

We would take a flask of tea and some currant loaf. A treat would be a saucer with a spoonful of sugar and a spoonful of cocoa powder mixed together and we'd dip our fingers in! You would always take your gas mask, a torch and a radio down to the shelter so that you knew what was going on.
