"Over 1,000 badges arrived from Home this week. They are attractive silvered badges topped with a crown and bear the words "ARP" and "Hong Kong".
The Home Office announced recently that the badges may now be given to volunteers in A.R.P. schemes promoted by privately-owned gas, water and electricity companies, other large businesses and Government departments.
The badges will be awarded in Hong Kong by Wing-Commander Steele-Perkins, A.R.P. officer, to A.R.P. volunteers if he is satisfied that they have the qualifications required of members of the A.R.P. organisation."
