Civil Defence personnel from across the UK parade before HM the King (no date on photo but I can just detect war service chevrons, so this may be the stand down parade in 1945). Nearly every man has qualified as either an Incident Officer or Bomb Reconnaissance Officer or both. Some badges have been correctly sewn to the sleeve (IO ahead of BRO), but some have these reversed, and one chap has them stacked.  CD Personnel Parade Before HM the King

The green enamel CD Rescue Instructor's badge is probably as rare as the C.A.G.S. Instructors badge (Civilian Anti-Gas School). It is shown with several armbands within the Postal Museum Archives, but little information is available about where, when and how it was issued. It is the same shape as other instructor badges but with green enamel. If you have enjoyed reading the blog, please support the site with a small donation. Thank you.

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 I run this website so everyone can learn about various aspects of British Civil Defence in WW2. You can help me cover the running costs and keep it advert-free by donating via PayPal. I recently purchased the Midland Region Dress Regulations for Civil Defence Personnel. I have scanned and created a PDF of this document. It has 11 detail-packed pages and is an excellent resource for collectors and re-enactors. Donate £3 (or more) and I’ll forward a copy of the PDF to your inbox. Ensure you leave your email on the donation or drop me a line so I can send you a PayPal money request directly. The PDF will have a faint WW2 Civil Defence watermark on the interior pages, and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t post it on forums or Facebook groups. Cheers  Dress Regulations for Civil Defence Personnel This FPS armband is made in the same way as the SFP (Street / Supplementary Fire Party) armbands. It is made with a dark blue cotton twill backing and red screen-printed FPS letters. It has been held in a collection for many years by a collector. To date, no definitive answer to the meaning of the letters has come to light. Answers on a postcard to the usual competition address or drop me a line.  Civil Defence FPS Armband |
