09.01.2022 From our Harristown State School Centenary Book: How many people remember the air raid trenches located at the corner of Warwick and Burton Streets? During the war years we had regular air raid shelter drills always under the direction of the head master, H Stevens. ... We were required to March to the trenches and crouch down until we were told to go back to our class. Pam Smallwood (nee Halligan)
