    Random note: there is a siren on top of Waterloo bridge, so if you ever want to see it, it’s still in place I believe on the bridge! Also might be one in Kensington park I think 🤔 but could be removed now I’m not sure. Awesome videos as always!! :)

    6:53 During World War II, 1,506,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured, many in anticipation of the estimated casualties resulting from the planned Allied invasion of Japan. By the end of the war, even accounting for medals lost, stolen, or wasted, nearly 500,000 remained.

    , they are not stretchers they are bunkbeds from the public shelters

      The railings we visited in this video are indeed stretchers.

      @debbiestead stretchers we're made of wood and canvas so that they were easy to transport

      The ‘ARP’ stretcher was mass produced in anticipation of air-raid casualties during the Second World War.
      The all-metal design allowed them to be easily decontaminated after the much-anticipated gas attacks, but many were never used and when the war ended they were redundant.
      In a period where material was short it made sense to re-use these useful items, usually converting them into railings.
