No official caption. ARP Personnel training in bomb disposal and decontamination. They are wearing the full anti-gas suit with civilian service respirator. 1938. In this photograph, taken in 1938, we catch a glimpse into the intense training sessions of Air Raid Precautions (ARP) personnel during a time of escalating conflict. The image showcases a medium-sized group of individuals dedicated to protecting their communities from potential air raids and gas attacks on the home front. Dressed head to toe in their protective gear, these brave men and women stand united against the looming threat of war. Their faces hidden behind gas masks, they exude an unwavering determination as they undergo rigorous exercises focused on bomb disposal and decontamination techniques. The significance of this snapshot lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of resilience amidst adversity. These ordinary civilians turned heroes demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding their fellow citizens by acquiring specialized skills necessary for survival during World War II. Photographed by F. A. Fyfe, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served on the front lines without ever donning military uniforms. It is a testament to their courage, unity, and unwavering dedication to preserving peace within their communities.
