EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online depicts a poignant moment during World War II as members of the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) team undergo training for the handling of incendiary devices. The image captures the seriousness and determination of the civilians as they prepare for the potential threat of air raids and the devastating effects of incendiary bombs. In the foreground, an ARP warden dons a gas mask and holds a fire extinguisher, ready to put out any fires caused by the incendiary devices. Behind him, other team members carefully inspect and prepare various incendiary devices, their expressions focused and intent. The devices, with their distinctive red tips, are arranged on a table, creating a stark contrast against the dark background. The ARP training exercise was an essential part of the civil defense efforts during World War II, as incendiary bombs were commonly used by the enemy to start fires in civilian areas. The ARP teams were responsible for putting out fires, providing first aid, and ensuring the safety of civilians during air raids. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and precautions taken by civilians during wartime, as they bravely faced the threat of air raids and worked to protect their homes and communities. The image also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the civilian population during a time of great uncertainty and danger.
