SRDC in 1939 Register?
« on: Tuesday 27 March 18 23:19 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help me; when I found a relative on the 1939 register his occupation is given as "SRDC ARP". He was 38 at the time. Does anyone know what this stands for?

Thanks in advance! :)

ARP - Air Raid Precautions? Where was he living could the SRDC stand for the name of the town and Rural District Council?

Hi groom,

Thanks for your help. He was living in Spondon, Derby, which is in the registration district of Shardlow. So could it be Air Raid Precautions Shardlow Rural District Council?
