In 1939, there were 1,506 Anderson shelters constructed in the United Kingdom. These air raid shelters were designed for use during World War II to protect civilians from bombings. The shelters were named after Sir John Anderson, who was the Minister of Home Security at the time. Each shelter could accommodate several people and was made from corrugated steel and earth.
Donald Thomas Anderson was born in 1939.
The Anderson shelters, designed for use during WWII in the UK, were primarily constructed from corrugated steel and featured a curved design for strength. Inside, they were typically equipped with bedding, blankets, and a few basic supplies, such as food and water, to provide comfort and safety during air raids. Additionally, some families added personal items for warmth and practicality, such as lanterns, small cooking appliances, and even furniture to make the space more livable.
