WWII Wartime Shelter at Cardiff Castle

My last post was my mother's written memories of living in Washington, D.C. during World War II.  I recently visited Cardiff, Wales and toured Cardiff Castle.  The exterior walls of the castle complex have tunnels through them.  During World War II, these tunnels were used as a Wartime Shelter.  The exhibit has benches lining the walls, bunk beds, and a canteen. Posters were also on the exhibit's wall including one that reminded me of my mother's Victory Garden:  Dig for Victory.
