SHOOT TO KILL
Made about 1940, this War Department training film details the use of the Boyes Anti Tank rifle, Thomson SMG, 2 Pounder Anti Tank Gun and the tactics of suppressive fire in the attack, a useful summary at the end covers salient points. This is the second half of the film, the first being now lost in time.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR GASMASK
Made by the Ministry of Home Security about 1939/40, during the Phoney War, it was intended for instruction of ARP personnel and the General Public in the proper use and care of gasmasks. It was made as a silent production and is thus an interesting and evocative item from WW2
