CASED BRITISH CIVILIAN RESPIRATOR
Boxed British civilian's respirator with khaki cloth carry case with strap, bears within the owner's name and address. The rubber seal on the mask is chipped, dry and brittle, other very good and complete. The General Civilian Respirator was issued to every civilian by the government in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Civilians were legally required to have their gas masks within reach at all times, and there was an extensive propaganda campaign designed to increase awareness.
