Put That Light Out! A Warden's WW2 Note

One of the main concerns of a warden was ensuring that no lights were showing at night (and this was the least liked aspect from the public's position early in the war). Wardens would often knock on a door to let the householder or business know they were showing a light. If no response was forthcoming they might post a note through the door like the one below.
