    Decontamination squads were responsible for cleaning up the streets, roads, buildings and other material following air raids. Here the Newtown Decontamination Squad is holding an exercise. They are wearing their special clothing and breathing apparatus to protect them from gases and dangerous chemicals.

Newtown Women's Institute knitting comforts for the troops

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  • Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
    Knitting items of clothing for the troops was a popular way of supporting the war effort. Newtown Women's Institute held a working party in Community House in the town in November 1939. The main centre of attention though was the Newtown's only male knitter, David Lewis. In this photograph he is seen wearing a 'balaclava' he made for the troops
