The Gas mask worn by a Air Raid Warden.

Hannah's group were given a suitcase and asked to discover who owned it, how long they were going away for, what two things they must always carry, and how they would have felt. Hannah decided it belonged to an evacuee who would be away from home until the end of the war, would have to carry their ID card and Gas Mask with them and would have felt sad and afraid. She was really engrossed in the whole workshop and spent a long time afterwards talking about Blackouts, Anderson Shelters and Air Raids - she learnt a lot today :-)
