History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. ~Winston Churchill

Pets in an Air Raid

In 1941 (presumably late in the year) LIFE magazine ran a series of photographs on what to do with your pets in the event of an air raid, both to keep them safe and to give them first aid if necessary. Frightening times.
