The origins of ‘women and children first’ and the Birkenhead Drill

The History Guy remembers the Birkenhead Disaster and explains where the protocol “women and children first” was first used.

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
