A Man Called Sir John Anderson
In 1938, at the beginning of the Second World War, a man called Sir John Anderson was given the task to prepare the people for war. Mind you, this was not an easy thing to do. His duty was to make a strategy that would protect the citizens of Britain from the bombings and onslaught that were sure to come. This was the reason he drew up a plan to make sure that civilians would be safe.

Building Backyard Shelters
Sir John Anderson, together with a group of engineers, planned and assisted people with the creation of simple underground shelters located in the backyard. It was important for these bunkers to remain close to the house so that they can retreat there at any given moment. The walls of the structure were made with a flexible yet lightweight metal, which was better than concrete. Overall, they made more than two million bomb shelters like this across the country. However, this was not what Simon found!
