Gallitelli: Anne Gallitelli Civil Defense Card

Object/Artifact
Civil Defense Corps Enrollment Card for Anne V. Gallitelli, 17 Main Street, Millburn indicating her position as an Air Raid Warden. The card was issued when Anne was 19 years old and signed by J. Herbert Wooley. According to a description provided by Anne Gallitelli in 2004, air wardens had metal helmets, flashlights and arm bands. Anne and her sister Mary patrolled the assigned area during air-raid alarms (around once a month) to make sure no light shined through the windows and doors of houses. If they saw a light, they told the homeowner to cover the light.
