- b&w, white border with deckled edge. Outdoors, child (Milan Voticky) wearing a white jumper and a gas mask. Narrative: Milan was being shown how to wear a gas mask in order to be prepared in case of gassing as was done in WWI by Germany. Gas masks were in very high demand at this period as people began to fear an invasion, and Anka had trouble finding one that would fit Milan. She also bought an infant gas mask for her daughter Vera.
