- Inscription CIVIL DEFENCE Order of the Day ISSUED BY The Prime Minister June 12th 1941 SINCE I issued to you my Order of the Day on September 3rd, 1940, the enemy has continued his air attacks on our Cities and countryside with increasing ferocity. WHEREVER his bombs have fallen the Civil Defence Services have been there, reporting news of the battle, fighting the fires, rescuing the buried, tending the injured, making good the damage, helping the homeless and mothering the children. YOUR courage and devotion to duty in all circumstances has been magnificent, It is marked by the tale of your losses, by the numbers of your men and women who have been decorated and commended for gallantry, and by the thousands of lives you have saved. You may have to face fresh dangers and trials. But you will go forward steadfastly with your Comrades in Arms until final Victory is achieved.
