An article from the front page of issue 13 of The Midnight Watch (the Broadsheet of Britain's Fire Guard and Civil Defence Workers). I look forward to seeing this device on the re-enacting scene this summer...  Device for Attacking Hidden Incendiary Bombs This Civil Defence Control manual issued by the County Borough of Brighton is a lovely survivor from WW2. It is full of detail about how to run a CD control room. It sold recently on eBay for £103 (including shipping) - a grand item for someone's CD library.  Brighton Civil Defence Control Manual I had not seen the circular 'Help The National Air Raid Distress Fund' poster before; both are rare survivors. This blog has more information about the fund.  National Air Raid Distress Fund Poster & Circular Display This is a fantastic booklet covering in great detail the uniform regulations for the CD personnel attached to the Midland Region in the Second World War. A veritable encyclopaedia of information. There cannot be too many of these still around.
