According to a description provided by Anne Gallitelli in 2004, air wardens had metal helmets, flashlights and arm bands. Anne and her sister Mary patrolled the assigned area during air-raid alarms (around once a month) to make sure no light shined through the windows and doors of houses. If they saw a light, they told the homeowner to cover the light.Acquisition
