WARDEN
Britain’s air-raid wardens had a varied remit during World War II. Not only were they charged with upholding night-time black-outs, administering first aid and reporting unexploded bombs, they were also responsible for keeping up the public’s morale. This they did by organising events like music concerts and sporting fixtures. These, temporarily at least, distracted minds from the nightly aerial threat.
