..... Home Guard, Air Raid Wardens, Fire Watchers, and all the other organisations which became vitally necessary in support and defence of the country.
Your comment reminded me of the pamphlet I obtained a few years ago which was issued in January 1939 to encourage everyone to "do their bit".
A message in the pamphlet from the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain read:
“The desire of all of us is to live at peace with our neighbours, but to secure peace we must be strong. The country needs your service and you are anxious to play your part. This guide will point the way. I ask you to read it carefully and decide how you can best help”.
The pamphlet contained a whole range of suggested services, along with an application form.
