A sheet given to all railway workers with survival chances if there was an atomic bomb.

This story was submitted to the People's War site by the CSV Action Desk at 91热爆 Gloucestershire on behalf of Mr R Axworth with his permission. The author fully understands the site's terms and conditions

This is a Civil Defence document that was given to my father, Charles Axworthy.

He worked on the railways in Gloucester as a plasterer from 1940.

It details the survival chances in the event of an atomic explosion, and was given to all railway workers.

We came to Gloucester from Southampton to escape the bombing, and we had to stay in Gloucester because a new law prevented you leaving your job.

I can remember a margarine factory being bombed shortly before we left. It burned for a week and I can still remember the smell.
