Object description
Builders of the 'Blitz Repair Squad' at work on a row of houses damaged by a V1 flying bomb, somewhere in London. The original caption states that this damage is typical of such an attack, with tiles and much of the roof itself missing, and windows blown in. The Blitz Repair Squad is a team of builders who have come to London from various parts of the country to help repair such damage. Here they work on ladders, tying tarpaulins in place on the roof and fixing waxed linen to the window frames in place of glass, in order to make the house watertight.
