It's assumed that most local authorities issued identification cards to members of the Civil Defence Services. Many were small folding cards with the owner's details inside. Some would have the crest of the town/borough/local authority on the cover. In the case of Bolton, it appears they went for a simple card with basic information added.
A rare "W.V.S. R.K." (Women’s Voluntary Services Relief Kitchen) armband and identification card. Issued in the Brighton area the Rest Centre would have had a kitchen set up by WVS volunteers to feed those bombed out of their homes.
A viewer of the blog kindly supplied the images. |
