Air Raid Precautions ARP refers to a number of organizations and guidelines in the United Kingdom dedicated to the protection of civilians from the danger of air raids. Government consideration for air raid precautions increased in the 1920s and 30s with the Raid Wardens' Service set up in 1937 to report on bombing incidents. Every local council was responsible for organizing ARP wardens messengers ambulance drivers rescue parties and liaison with police and fire brigades. From 1 September 1939 ARP wardens enforced the "blackout". Heavy curtains and shutters were required on all private residences commercial premises and factories to prevent light escaping and so making them a possible marker for enemy bombers to locate their targets. With increased enemy bombing during the Blitz the ARP services were central in reporting and dealing with bombing incidents. They managed the air raid sirens and ensured people were directed to shelters. The fear of the use of poison gas by German aircraft was one of the paramount concerns of the Second World War. Although Britain France and Germany had all renewed the Geneva Gas Protocol 1925 in September 1939 there were still concerns that the enemy might have employed gas against military or civilian personnel and ARP personnel were trained to handle gas attacks and on anti-gas measures and protection. Several arms of the ARP services were directly concerned with gas. The Decontamination Service was the first to decontaminate roads buildings and materials contaminated by liquid or jelly gases which would evaporate over time and these would have been dealt with by using a neutralizing agent against the liquid or jelly. Decontamination of people was carried out as part of first aid while later decontamination personnel were trained in rescue work as well. Depots were set up as six depots per 100000 people with two decontamination squadrons per depot each squadron consisting of six men with their equipment. The Cleansing Service was to clean people who had been exposed through showers by mobile units with special vans and lorries. Clothing had to be boiled if exposed for varying lengths of time dependent on the material. Civilian clothing was the responsibility of the Ministry of Health. Each gas presented its own problems and required special counters and the Gas Identification Service with 3 personnel per 100000 population provided where possible was to identify the gas used in an attack.

With increased enemy bombing during the Blitz the ARP services were central in reporting and dealing with bombing incidents. They managed the air raid sirens and ensured people were directed to shelters. For many people who experienced World War Two on the homefront their most vivid memories were of food. Rationing changed the way people cooked and ate - food shortages meant that home cooks often had to use their initiative to create meals out of meager rations. This led to popular dishes such as Lord Woolton Pie Vinegar Cake and Spam Hash. The government rationed food in World War Two to ensure people got an equal amount of food each week. In 1939 Britain only grew enough food to feed one person in every three and with Nazi U-boats threatening to starve the country into defeat the government had to take action to prevent a food shortage. It was also worried that as food became scarcer prices would soar and people would hoard food. On 3 April 1940 Baron Woolton became Minister of Food. He had been a social workers and former managing director of the Lewis store chain in Northern England. Woolton was the mastermind behind the recipe books and nutritional advice offered by the Ministry of Food - he knew that it wasn't enough to ration food; the government had to advise people as well. Woolton worked closely with his chief scientific advisor Jack Drummond who helped the government's rationing strategy. Woolton's method communicating with the public was effective and by 1945 housewives had a much deeper understanding of nutrition. The Ministry issued many cooking leaflets often dedicated to specific topics such as the health benefits of carrots. The Ministry of Food employed 15000 people at its height with 18 Food Officers and 1500 Food Control Committees. The Ministry became involved in every aspect of consumer life - from telling grocers where to get their supplies from in order to reduce petrol costs to advising home cooks on recipes. Unknown to the British population the Ministry of Food also created secret food depot warehouses throughout the country in which it stockpiled food in the event of invasion. The Ministry of Food issued ration books to every family. Each one contained coupons which allowed them to buy a limited amount. Petrol was the first commodity to be rationed in 1939 followed by butter sugar bacon paper and meat in early 1940. By the end of the war half of Britain's food was rationed.

Contents include: Section 1 Things To Do Now; Section 2: Things To DO If There Should Ever Be A War; Section 3: Things To Do In An Air Raid; Section 4: Extra Precautions; and Section 5: What To Do If Anyone Is Hurt. As the threat of conflict again overshadowed Britain in the 1930s the nation began to take measures to prepare itself for the possibility of war. One of a series of official publications issued by the Home Office The Protection of Your Home Against Air Raids offers a glimpse of the precautions all households were urged to take in the event of aerial attack. Addressing problems such as "Things to get for your refuge-room" and "What the head of the household should do" this allows the reader a glimpse into the general public's experience of wartime Britain. The Civil Defence Service was a civilian volunteer organization in Great Britain during World War II. Established by the Home Office in 1935 as Air Raid Precautions ARP its name was changed to the Civil Defence Service CD in 1941. The Civil Defence Service included the ARP Wardens Service as well as firemen initially the Auxiliary Fire Service AFS and latterly the National Fire Service NFS fire watchers later the Fire Guard rescue first aid post and stretcher parties. Over 1.9 million people served within the CD and nearly 2400 lost their lives to enemy action. Publication such as this supported the members of the Service and the civil population at large. Air Raid Precautions ARP refers to a number of organizations and guidelines in the United Kingdom dedicated to the protection of civilians from the danger of air raids. Government consideration for air raid precautions increased in the 1920s and 30s with the Raid Wardens' Service set up in 1937 to report on bombing incidents.1 Every local council was responsible for organizing ARP wardens messengers ambulance drivers rescue parties and liaison with police and fire brigades. From 1 September 1939 ARP wardens enforced the "blackout". Heavy curtains and shutters were required on all private residences commercial premises and factories to prevent light escaping and so making them a possible marker for enemy bombers to locate their targets. With increased enemy bombing during the Blitz the ARP services were central in reporting and dealing with bombing incidents. They managed the air raid sirens and ensured people were directed to shelters. Women were involved in ARP services through the Women's Voluntary Service. The Auxiliary Fire Service was set up in 1938 to support existing local fire services which were amalgamated into a National Fire Service in 1941. From 1941 the ARP officially changed its title to Civil Defence Service to reflect the wider range of roles it then encompassed. During the war almost 7000 Civil Defence workers were killed. In all some 1.5 million men and women served within the organization during World War Two. Over 127000 full-time personnel were involved at the height of the Blitz but by the end of 1943 this had dropped to 70000. The Civil Defence Service was stood down towards the end of the war in Europe on 2 May 1945. His Majesty's Stationery Office paperback
194466754London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1944. First edition. Presumed first printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. 104 p. Includes: illustrations maps. This is part of The Army at War series. From Wikipedia: "The Eighth Army was one of the best-known formations of the British Army during World War II fighting in the North African and Italian campaigns. It was a British formation always commanded by British officers however its personnel came from throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth; complemented by units composed of exiles from Nazi-occupied Europe. Subordinate units came from Australia British India Canada Free French Forces Greece New Zealand Poland Rhodesia South Africa and the United Kingdom. Significant formations which passed through the Army included: V Corps X Corps XIII Corps XXX Corps I Canadian Corps Polish II Corps.Eighth Army first went into action as an Army as part of Operation Crusader the Allied operation to relieve the besieged city of Tobruk on 17 November 1941 when it crossed the Egyptian frontier into Libya to attack Erwin Rommel's Panzer Army Africa. On 26 November the Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command General Sir Claude Auchinleck replaced Cunningham with Major-General Neil Ritchie following disagreements between Auchinleck and Cunningham. Despite achieving a number of tactical successes Rommel was forced to concede Tobruk and was pushed back to El Agheila by the end of 1941. In February 1942 Rommel had regrouped his forces sufficiently to push the over-extended Eighth Army back to the Gazala line just west of Tobruk. Both sides commenced a period of building their strength to launch new offensives but it was Rommel who took the initiative first forcing Eighth Army from the Gazala position. Ritchie proved unable to halt Rommel and was replaced when Auchinleck himself took direct command of the army. The Panzer Army Afrika were eventually stopped by Auchinleck at the First battle of El Alamein. Auchinleck wishing to pause and regroup Eighth Army which had expended a lot of its strength in halting Rommel came under intense political pressure from Winston Churchill to strike back immediately. However he proved unable to build on his success at Alamein and was replaced as Commander-in-Chief Middle-East in August 1942 by General Alexander and as Eighth Army commander by Lieutenant-General William Gott. Gott was killed in an air crash on his way to take up his command and so Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery was appointed in his place. Alexander and Montgomery were able to resist the pressure from Churchill building the army's strength and adding a pursuit formation X Corps to the Army's XIII Corps and XXX Corps. At the beginning of November 1942 the Eighth Army defeated Rommel in the decisive Second Battle of El Alamein pursuing the defeated Axis army across Libya and reaching the Mareth defensive line on the Tunisian border in February 1943 where it came under the control of 18th Army Group. Eighth Army outflanked the Mareth defenses in March 1943 and after further fighting alongside British First Army the other 18th Army Group component which had been campaigning in Tunisia since November 1942 the Axis forces in North Africa surrendered in May 1943.

In the course of the war the Ministry of Home Security had evolved a scientific method for the measurement of the effect of air attack in the various forms and the Home Office regarded it as desirable to invite the United States Authorities to agree that a British team of experts trained in that method should co-operate with the United States Strategic Bombing Survey to conduct an investigation into the effects of the bombing of the two Japanese cities. The United States authorities provided every possible facility for the investigation and the detailed arrangements were made by the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. In addition to factual examinations at Hiroshima and Nagasaki the United States Authorities placed at the disposal of the British experts the records and observations which their more prolonged and detailed study had produced. In particular the part of this report which deals with the effects of atomic bombs on the human structure is based on material supplied by the Medical Section of the Joint Commission for the Investigation of the Effects of the Atomic Bomb. This report by the British experts is now published in this country simultaneously with the publication in America of the corresponding report of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey. His Majesty's Government considers that a full understanding of the consequences of the new form of attack may assist the United Nations Organisation in its task of securing the control of atomic energy for the common good and in abolishing the use of weapons of mass destruction. From the Introduction: 1. On August 6th 1945 shortly after 8 a.m. an American Super-Fortress flying at 30000 feet dropped a single atomic bomb over the Japanese mercantile city of Hiroshima. The bomb exploded over the city centre. Three days later on August 9th just after 11 a.m. a Super-Fortress flying at the same height which had found its primary target cloud-obscured dropped a second atomic bomb over the industrial city of Nagasaki. This bomb exploded over the city's factory area. In Hiroshima more than four square miles of city were destroyed and 80000 people were killed. In the smaller city of Nagasaki about one and a half square miles were destroyed and nearly 40000 people were killed. The causes of destruction and of death differed in many points from those which had acted in the conventional raids of the past. It was clear that bombing had changed its character and its scale beyond recognition. 2. The British Mission which spent the month of November 1945 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been concerned in the past with the appreciation of air raid damage in Great Britain and subsequently on the Continent of Europe. While some of its members had for other reasons made a wartime study of Japanese conditions it was not as a whole expert in Japanese affairs. Nor was it instructed to obtain a detailed picture of those effects of the bomb which were peculiar to Japan. The report which follows tells what was seen and what could be learnt three months after the bombing in Hiroshima and in Nagasaki. But its intention is as it was the object of the Mission to point to general conclusions on the effects to be expected from similar atomic bombs should they fall outside Japan and in particular in Great Britain. The reader should picture the destruction here set down as it would strike a city which he knows well in its people its houses its public buildings its factories and its public services.
