Here are a few pages of items that I have managed to find pictures of on my PC here.
They do include a couple of 'not in scope' (a good 'weasel' word....) but I can't be bothered to 'Paintshop' them out. david |
Interesting mix of wartime (old gold colour) and postwar (yellow) CD badges you've got there. I like the printed ones myself.

Hi trawling the internet and came across these Civil Defence helmets, for anyone with an interest.....
Regards Tony. |
can't see mine: I was a Rescue Team Leader, Industrial Civil Defence, MoD.
As I recall, white with black R and a bar or two across. I was all of 20 years old but had a lot of Scouting experience including very heavy lift and big boys' pioneering. All I have left is scars on shins and my lapel badge. We had a green truck, stacked with gear, sort of miniature Green Goddess, mine, all mine! Used to practice on old bomb sites before they were re-developed. |
I think you`ll find the poster is from the second war - sounds like you served during the cold war?... i dont recollect any references to the ICDS during the war. would be interested to hear any stories etc, and what sort of insignia you wore!
regards, sean |
Dark blue boiler suit, helmet, and a lapel badge for civvies was it. c. 1956-58.
Met Office, Harrow Wealdstone, just behind Kodak by the railway line. |
thanks for the reply! always interesting to get to hear from people who were involved - did you have fun?!
