    Studio portrait of Mrs Jane Ridgway of Hednesford wearing her ARP (Air Raid Precautions) Warden's uniform during World War II. She wears a great coat with ARP badge, and a felt hat with metal badge on front.

    Some really great photos here Peter ... do you have some connection with Staffs in particular?

    Noticed the Fire brigade pic is quite distressed and have made some attempt to improve it

    - a better job could be done with a higher res version

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    Sorry to say I don't have the names you require, maybe you could try the local Codsall council, see the link below, they might still have archives going back that far.

    Good luck with your research

    Regards
    Peter
