This photograph shows the Civil Defence Regional Commissioner for London, Sir Ernest Gowers inspecting the poison indicator stick of an anti-gas squad. The wooden stick had special paper attached to the end from which the type of gas could be identified.
Correction: the photo shows Admiral ERG Evans, Regional Commissioner for London Civil Defence inspecting gas detection workers during his visit to Paddington, London in October 1939. Evans preceded Gowers.
