Improvised "Armor."

The way in which the Londoner makes the best of his air raids has often been commented on, and one of the latest incidents described is worthy of special recognition. A woman appeared on a balcony wearing a heavy dishpan on her head She thought the raid was over, but took that precaution against shrapnel, Another woman, having to cross a square to reach her shelter, also wore a dish cover with a cushion under it, while yet another had a pewter dish as a shield. —Christian Science Monitor.
