Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
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.

Makes me think of the kids in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It's amazing to me how total strangers opened their homes to board children. It's too bad that it usually takes a crisis to get us to come together~

Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales said:
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.
