Fashion — 1939-1945
Bag, organisational uniform bag
Air Raid Precautions (ARP) was created in 1924 as a response to the fears about the growing threat from the development of bomber aircraft. During the Second World War, the ARP was responsible for issuing gas masks, pre-fabricated air-raid shelters, the upkeep of local public shelters, and the maintenance of the blackout. The ARP also helped rescue people after air raids and other attacks. This bag was part of an ARP uniform.
