Civil Defense air raid alarm test
Apropos the CD thread going here, just thought I'd pass this on.
In December 1961 I was on a Callout tasking at the Signal Corps Armoury at 185 Spadina Ave, just north of Queen Street. (Callout is the same as today's Cl B).
I fully remember the air raid sirens going off one afternoon...it was an accepted practice and a way of life then. It was previously announced that it was just a test, so no-one was alarmed.
It struck a chord with me though, having lived through some of the V1, V2 attacks in London...hearing the same sound but under different circumstances.
