Fully embroidered on black wool.ARP Warden ​Shoulder Titles (ARP Pattern 120)The 'WARDEN' was the on-the-ground link between the general public and the local authority's ARP services. Wardens were responsible for keeping the ARP Control Centre aware of any bombing damage, manage incidents and give advice and help to the public. Officially introduced for wear on battledress in September 1941, it took time for the titles to reach every location. Variations - such as 'HEAD WARDEN', 'SENIOR WARDEN' and 'CHIEF WARDEN' - exist but these were ordered by local authorities and were not officially sanctioned.
