EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of the Metropolitan Police force during wartime, as they prepared for potential gas attacks with essential equipment. The photograph features a Metropolitan Police officer, donning a wooden and metal gas mask, a tin helmet adorned with a red 'P' for Police, and carrying a gas mask bag and a noisy rattle. The mask, a crucial piece of protective gear, consisted of a tube connected to a filter, enabling the wearer to breathe safely in the presence of toxic gases. The bag was used to store and transport the mask, while the rattle served as a warning signal to alert others of the presence of gas. The wooden and metal construction of the helmet provided an additional layer of protection, shielding the head from debris and shrapnel. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the bravery and preparedness of the Metropolitan Police during times of conflict.
