BABIES ANTI-GAS HELMETS

I have been advised by the Medical Officer of Health of the recent birth of your child.

Arrangements have been made for a baby’s Anti-Gas Helmet to be available for you at the Wardens’ post situated at [inserted] St Giles Senior School Macauley Drive [/inserted]

I am enclosing a record card, and shall be glad if either yourself or some responsible person (preferably your husband) will complete the record card and take it to the Wardens’ Post at an early date, when the Helmet will be demonstrated and issued in exchange for the card.

The Helmet remains the property of the Government and will be withdrawn when the child attains the age of two.

If you are changing your present residence permanently to an address outside the city the Helmet may be taken with you if prior notification of the address to which you are going is sent to the A.R.P. Officer, 8, Silver Street, Lincoln.

Change of address within the city must also be notified.

J.H. Smith
Town Clerk.
