How to remove your gasmask: Just thought that you might need to know! by Lady Wulfrun on Flickr.A wartime cigarette card from Wills, the makers of Capstan, Woodbine, Star and Goldflake tabacco products. This comes from their ‘Air Raid Precautions" set, and explains how civilians should properly remove their gasmasks. The caption on the back of the card reads: The Civilian Resporator - How to remove it. The picture shows the RIGHT way to take off a civilian respirator. This should be done by slipping the head harness forward from the back of the head. It is important the respirator should be taken off in this way. The WRONG way of to take it off is by taking hold of the metal box containing the filters and pulling the face piece off over the chin. By this method there is a danger of bending the transparent window. If this window is cracked, the respirator is useless. -- source link
