A black 1937-pattern British steel helmet with a white capital W on the front indicates an Air Raid Patrol Warden. Their primary task was to patrol streets during the blackout to ensure that no lights could be seen from houses or businesses, since these could be used as aiming points by enemy bombers.
Wardens also assessed bomb damage and what assistance would be needed from the emergency services; they guided people to the shelters, issued gas masks and tried to reunite lost children with their families. They numbered around 1.4 million volunteers in Britain during the war.
