When an air raid was in progress and enemy aircraft were over London, Frederick Sydney Imber, aged 37, stood in the middle of a road shining an unscreened torch upward, and on to the side of buildings. A hostile crowd gathered, and a policeman had difficulty in pieventing Imber from being man-handled. At a London Police Court Imber was fined 7s 6d for showing a light from the' torch. He pleaded guilty and stated he was trying to help firemen. “It was,” the magistrate observed, “the conduct of a most unmitigated fool.”
