Civil Defence & Air Raid Precautions (ARP) Resources
There are hundreds of books and articles about the ARP and Civil Defence General Services during the second world war; I have highlighted a selection I find most useful.
Covered here is information about re-enacting and buying items related to the war.
I have included details about uniforms and sizing plus an ARP Pattern numbers list.
There is a section containing original photos and also some photos of re-enactors.
A page is dedicated to the plethora of fake ARP badges that have surfaced over the years.
A page is dedicated to the post-war Civil Defence Corps insignia and badges (often confused with wartime insignia).
Lastly, there is a collection of the Air Raid Histories printed during and shortly after the second world war.
