WW2 Chester ARP Warden's Card of Appointment

2/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Wardens were permitted to enter homes and business premises to verify that the householder or proprietor had undertaken the necessary black out precautions etc (in some areas, Wardens checked that all attics had been cleared of furniture or stored items to prevent the stored items being set ablaze by incendiary bombs). Wardens were nearly always local to their area as they would know who lived where, what kind of businesses there were and also where telephones calls could be made - all important information during an air raid incident. Wardens carried 'Cards of Appointment' (sometimes called Warrant Cards) to prove they were wardens and to gain access to houses and buildings.
