To ensure that everyone was aware of the dangers in wartime, every person had to take part in the precautionary preparations, even in areas that were not obvious targets for the enemy. Here are the Air Raid Wardens of Llanfyllin in their decontamination suits. As can be seen, each man has a bell or rattle - the rattle warned of the danger of gas and the bell sounded the all clear. Wardens also had less dangerous duties such as checking that no lights were visible from outside buildings during the blackouts.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The British Home Guard and Civil Defense: WWII, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

An important element in the work of Air Raid Wardens was to hold regular emergency exercises to maintain a heightened sense of readiness among the population. Here are Air Raid Wardens of the Newtown station supervising the moving of injured people on stretchers, September 1940.
