Photographs and information of the various uniforms, insignia, badges and personal equipment used by British Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Wardens, Fire Guards and the Civil Defence Services during the second world war. Many items are covered but no site could claim to cover everything from WW2. It is a work in progress and is updated as new material comes to light. 

​Not covered here is the training, organisation and structure of the Air Raid Wardens' Service, Fire Guard and Civil Defence Services during WW2.

​I'm always keen to hear from WW2 re-enactors, collectors and historians regarding the information displayed on this site. Please contact me about additions, corrections or amendments. I am happy to add photos of badges, period photos or items you may have. See contact page for more information.
