ARP named First Aid workers

Maz 60

proper brummie kid
Hi John, Thomas Evans Day listed on ancestry 1939 register with his parents Thomas & Sybil. Address is "Wellington", Hollyfield Road, Sutton Coldfield. The comments line opposite states that Thomas Evans is "ARP First Aid Section Sutton Coldfield". DOB is 26th May 1918. Very tough experience for someone so young. Occupation is shown as "clerk to Borough surveyor"
 
These civilian trained volunteers in WW2 gave immediate on site care to bombing casuaties for injuries, gas, and burns.

The list below of named members who worked voluntarily during WW2 in the ARP First Aid Section will be regularly updated.

My dad was in the Civil defense during the war, I don't know what part he actually played, I know he had a St Johns book about treating injuries that he studied most nights when it was quiet.
