George Francis Phillips

Air Raid Precautions

My father, George Francis Phillips, was in the ARP (Air Raid Precautions) all through WW2. The ARP post he worked from was in Carshalton, Surrey, on the corner of Sibton Road and Sherbourne Crescent.

One of my dad's good friends at this time was a man whose surname was Haddock. He was also in the Carshalton ARP. I met a Vic Haddock in Brisbane after I migrated to Australia. He was the son of my father's friend. Unfortunately, I lost touch with him.

My father also had the job of collecting chickens and rabbits from bomb- damaged houses in the area. Our whole back garden was a chicken coop! We had special ration tokens to get feed for the collected beasts for which I believe we had to give up egg ration coupons.
