LFB, AFS & NFS UNIFORMS AND INSIGNIA
Hello, I have recently taken an interest in the uniforms, badges and insignia of the various Home Front organisations. Unfortunately, being a complete (but enthusiastic) novice I am finding the pickings very thin. I am beginning my search for information by choosing the ww2 Fire Services. Any help would be most gratefully received.
Best wishes John |

Hi johnmarksdad, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts.
Several members are knowledgeable about home front organizations, and should be able to offer some assistance.

I would suggest looking here for info. on AFS and many of the WW2 Civil Def associated sections - and some excellent notes on fake badges and insignia in that field which is currently doing the rounds!
Depending on what you are looking for, this is also a "must have" reference book by Jon Mills (who is an active member of the forum). Also there is a "home front" section in the forum which would be useful for you to browse - and also have a look in the members Albums, which can be accessed by clicking on the "All Albums" list in the forum header. Finally, I would suggest if you are looking for dealers to buy such things from, then this list is a great starting point. Although you will see that not all deal in this area. If you have any doubts - I would encourage you to post an image and ask for opinions. Oh - and welcome to the forum

JohnMarksdad, A good dealer to work with is Home Front Collection. I have nothing but excellent experiences with him. He has a separate section of just the fire services.

The excellent WW2 Civil Defence website; www.ww2civildefence.co.uk has as the latest item on its blog coverage of a wartime magazine which has quite a lot of detail on the badges of the NFS.
Worth a look. Jon |
