World War II Gas Masks

We’re starting a new topic in class – World War II.

We know that everyone, including children had to carry a gas mask with them wherever they went. When they were at school the teachers used to get the children to practise wearing them. Here we are making replica masks. “It must have been really scary to wear one of these,” commented Taylor.

“These masks were really difficult to make as the instructions were a wee bit complicated, but I felt brilliant when I finished mine.” (Lewis G)

  1. Good work following instructions to make the replica gas masks. I wonder how often they actually needed to be used in Britain during World War 2.
