ARP stood for 'Air Raid Precautions'. The ARP wardens were known for their overzealous attitude to their job and were scourned by the population for their pettyness in carring out their duties. The ARP wardens made sure that;- 1)All civilians carried gas masks at all times. 2)At night, that no light leaked from properties or vehicles (to stop the Germans identifing where the settlements were) 3)During an air raid that all civilians were in shelters and had their gas masks on.
