An A R P Demonstration
Summary
Sketchy interior scene of a group of soldiers at an A.R.P. demonstration. The men stand in an empty room, some crouching on the floor in the far corner to the left, and others standing around the sides of the room, looking over the scene. The room is dimly lit, but for two windows on the left side; on the back wall, a wooden ladder leans upright, and soldiers' tin hats hang off a row of hooks. Robert Medley, who served as an A.R.P. warden, depicts an A.R.P. bandaging demonstration in an elementary school classroom in Grimsby.
