12 WW2 Civil Defence Regions

Great Britain was split into 12 Civil Defence regions during the second world war. The Regional Commissioner in each would have had direct control over the area should an invasion take place and lines of communication were lost with London. Below is a Civil Defence Pass for Region 12, the South East based in Tunbridge Wells.

The 12 regions and their headquarters were:

No. 1 Northern - Newcastle
No. 2 North East - Leeds
No. 3 North Midland - Nottingham
