The best cover is on the floor behind solid walls, away from windows or glass doors. After dark all superfluous lights must be extinguished. Men on duty outside will warn their Stations immediately hostilities are observed and then take cover in the nearest building. Immediately the raid is over they will inform their station of any damage and/or casualties, and then render whatever assitance is required. / All should bear in mind that there is considerable danger in falling anti-anticraft shrapnel during such hostilities.
