Air Raid Warden Service Insignia

"The position of the Air Raid Warden, and especially that of the Senior Air Raid Warden, is one of responsibility and trust. The Senior Air Raid Warden is in command during an emergency within his block until special crews arrive to take charge at an incident. An Air Raid Warden must lead, direct, and help the people entrusted to his care. It is the responsibility of the Air Raid Warden to see that everything possible is done to protect and safeguard the homes and citizens within his block from the hazards created by attacks from the air."

"Members of the various services within the block organization who have been certified, should wear the official insignia of their offices when on duty. The official insignia for the various offices and services as adopted by the Office of Civilian Defense (other than the Warden Service) are shown as follows:" — Manual for Air Raid Wardens: State of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Council of Defense (circa 1942)
