WW2 British Civil Defence Corps Patch

The WW2 British Civil Defence Corps Patch is an original cloth insignia issued during the Second World War to personnel serving in the Civil Defence Corps in the United Kingdom. The patch typically features distinctive embroidered lettering or symbols designating the wearer’s role within the organization, which was responsible for coordinating and implementing emergency response measures on the home front. Members of the Civil Defence Corps were involved in air raid precautions, rescue work, firefighting, first aid, and other essential support services during wartime. These patches were generally sewn onto uniforms and worn on the upper arm to identify individuals as part of the Civil Defence effort. The design and color of the patch may vary depending on the specific branch or function within the Corps. This artifact serves as a representation of the civilian contribution to national defense and offers insight into the structure and organization of wartime emergency services in Britain.
