EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) during World War II. Established in 1938, the AFS was a civilian organization that supplemented the work of the regular fire brigades in London and other major cities during the war. The image shows a diverse group of men and women, all proudly dressed in their AFS uniforms, gathered together for a photograph. The women, known as firewomen, are seen wearing protective helmets and coats, while the men, or firemen, are in their traditional firefighting gear. Their determined expressions and confident poses convey a sense of unity, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity. The photograph was taken in the 1940s, a time when London was under constant threat from air raids and fires. The AFS played a crucial role in responding to these emergencies, often working long hours and putting their lives on the line to protect their communities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the AFS during wartime, and the essential role they played in the history of the London Fire Brigade.
