ARP HandbookNo.1, 'PERSONAL PROTECTION AGAINST GAS', published by HMSO, 1938.

The Home Office ARP Dept. published a series of handbooks for the ARP that were regularly updated. These handbooks were published from the birth of the department in 1935 and formed a series that was expanded and developed as the war progressed, with some running into several editions. With the worry of gas attacks causing a major concern during this period many of the first editions covered gas safety.

This edition covers, amongst other things, detection of gas, protection of the eyes and lungs, anti-gas treatment, respirator drill, etc.
