Uniforms, insignia, badges, helmet markings and personal equipment used by British Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Wardens, Fire Guards & Fire Watchers and the Civil Defence Services during the second world war. Lots of photographs with a regularly updated blog. It's a work in progress and new material is added as it comes to light, is shared by collectors or found online. 

​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, re-enactors photos and original WW2 items you may have. Use the contact page to drop me a line.

​Not covered here are the WW2 fire services (AFS/NFS) or Police services. Nor is the training, organisation and structure of the Air Raid Wardens' Service, Fire Guard and Civil Defence Services during the war.
