And then we had the er  the battledress was issued, the khaki, and erm  we was  had our head headquarters were started, the headquarters were started in an office at, one of the office rooms at the  at the Bloxwich Lock and Stamping Company by the, the top offices we used to call them, by the gates, we had one of the rooms there for  and it eventually became the armoury when we got some  equipment because rifles etcetera was in very short supply after Dun Dunkirk  So eventually we had a few  rifles and er  when the er we got a few rifles and er the sirens went  it was the practice at the beginning when the sirens went in this area for everything to stop and everyone down the shelter  but it happened  four or five times, everybody realized how non-productive this was, that the time that was lost  and there was nothing happening in this area  so it was decided by the R T B that we, the, the people off the shop floor wouldn't stop work until the attack was really imminent or it had started  because if this, this was happening all over the Midlands area and of course if you, if you multiply that by the number of people at work you can imagine how much production was lost erm  and also when the sirens went  Major  at the factory used to get the chappies out  from off the shop floor, get the few rifles we'd got, take we in to King George's playing fields  there was a, a brook running across King George's playing fields then, it hadn't  and a trench which was extended to stop er aircraft from landing in King George's cos it was just a big open space.
