National A.R.P. Animals Committee Registration Book

This National Air Raid Precautions Animals Committee Registration Book was issued to Mrs E Reeves, a National Animal Guard in the Uxbridge area, during the Second World War. The committee was a voluntary service run by guards who would patrol local areas and help any animals injured in air raids.

The registration book was used to take the name and address of all animals reported lost or missing during air raids. The book has been partly used and lists cats and dogs that had gone astray in the Uxbridge area. The wartime animal registration scheme was open to all horses, ponies and donkeys, and pets 'to which the registration disc can be attached'.
