  Soldiers, sailors and pilots were not the only ones who fought in the war. On the Home Front the contribution of ordinary men and women was crucial in local defence efforts. Rules and safety precautions were established that everybody was expected to follow, and services such as the Air Raid Wardens and the Home Guard ensured that home defence procedures were properly carried out.
