Description:

The ARP [Air Raid Precautions] was a civilian organization in Britain responsible for protecting the public from aerial attacks. Key ARP duties included enforcing the blackout, handing out gas masks, coordinating emergency responses during raids, and providing first aid to those injured. The most visible members were the ARP wardens, who patrolled the streets and helped guide people to shelters.
