        Overview

        Besides the day-to-day activity of an Air Raid Wardens’ post, there is also a strong sense of community depicted in β€˜Post 23’. In extremely challenging circumstances, the civil defence workers of β€˜Post 23’ respond to the home front’s daily challenges, as people from various backgrounds and professions work together to help those worst affected by war.
