I have just started to read this book. In the preface Graham Phythian writes: "I have included the well-known anecdote about George Hall receiving a custodial sentence for snoring in a public air-raid shelter, but I was unable to find a primary source for this. I would appreciate any enlightenment on the matter." I had never heard this well-known anecdote, so decided to have a dig. Liverpool Evening Express - 4th December 1941
