Fred and Derk:
You may want to contact the Deifenbunker in Carp as they have a good collection of CD material and have reproduced many of the posters and a pamphlet for resale. http://www.diefenbunker.ca/ Cheers! Mike

Civil Defense air raid alarm test
Apropos the CD thread going here, just thought I'd pass this on.
In December 1961 I was on a Callout tasking at the Signal Corps Armoury at 185 Spadina Ave, just north of Queen Street. (Callout is the same as today's Cl B). I fully remember the air raid sirens going off one afternoon...it was an accepted practice and a way of life then. It was previously announced that it was just a test, so no-one was alarmed. It struck a chord with me though, having lived through some of the V1, V2 attacks in London...hearing the same sound but under different circumstances.

Air raid siren
I volunteer at the Fort Garry Horse Museum & archives when I can and I was on the roof of the McGregor armouries and Gord Crossley pointed out where the Air raid siren once was bolted down to the roof and it must have been big and LOUD!
All of my collection is now at Fred's Civil Defence museum.I figure it will do more good there than on my shelf in my computer room! Once the museum is done,a trip is planned to visit it. Regards,Derk.
