Although many will think only on the ARP of Great Britain when thinking of civilian air raid wardens of the war here is a Company For The Air Defence Of Sofia "Simeon The Great" Under The Garrison of the Union Of Civil Societies For Anti-Aircraft And Chemical Defence Of The Population Of The Tsardom Sofia Identification from 1939 to 26 year old Vasil Aleksandrov Velichkov. This anti-air raid warden was set up well in advance of Bulgarian hostilities. Sofia was bombed in April 1941 and then from November 1943 until April 1944. A total of 1468 Bulgarians (and their allies) were killed in raids during their time with the Axis.
