In response to the German air raids, Britain introduced the first black outs. People were banned from emitting any light from their windows. Who was allocated the task of enforcing this rule?

The First World War had a huge impact on British society.  Millions of men left their ordinary lives to fight for king and country.  But life changed too for those they left behind.  A shortage of manpower meant that women had to replace the absent men.  Many parts of British life were put on hold for the duration of the war and others were gone forever.
