EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts an ARP (Air Raid Precautions) training exercise during World War II, focusing on the application of artificial respiration, or ARP, techniques. The image captures a dedicated group of civilians receiving instruction from a military instructor, who demonstrates the proper use of a mask and other equipment. The trainees, some wearing gas masks, are intently focused on the task at hand, preparing themselves to provide emergency assistance in the event of an air raid or gas attack. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the instructor's lantern casting an orange glow over the participants. The serious expression on their faces underscores the gravity of the situation and the importance of the skills they are learning. This training was a crucial aspect of civil defense efforts during the war, as civilians were expected to take an active role in protecting their communities and ensuring the survival of their families and neighbors. The use of lantern slides for instruction was a common practice during this era, as it allowed for large groups to gather and learn essential skills in a centralized location. This particular slide, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the lengths to which people went to prepare for the uncertainties of wartime. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
