I'm not sure if anything has survived for the AFS. Home Guard records yes , but still with the MoD. Many AFS members would qualify for the Defence Medal, that roll should survive somewhere, but it was a long haul to qualify, measured in years of service. So it could not be used, for example, as a complete list of Amble AFS members.
Interesting to me from the above is that Dr. Loughridge was potentially awarded the Defence Medal as the ARP Medical Officer.
