Title: Staff with gas masks, about 1939 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers started preparations for war in April 1939 by building air raid shelters and fitting dimmer lights for blackouts. Eric Palmer set up a 'Cake and Biscuit Manufacturers Wartime Alliance' in January 1939 to ensure that fully adequate biscuit supplies would be available for all those evacuated on the outbreak of war. The company supplied Fancy Lunch biscuits to mothers and children who were evacuated from London and other large cities.
