Civilians significantly contributed to Britain's war effort during the Second World War, marking it as a "People's War." Emergency services established prior to the conflict evolved to assist those affected by the war, while the Home Guard emerged as a vital component of national defense. Essential workers on the Home Front, although often lacking uniforms, displayed their commitment through lapel pins or badges, symbolizing their crucial roles in supporting the war effort.
