EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) women undergoing catering instruction at a London Fire Brigade training facility during World War II. The Blitz brought long hours and arduous work for both London's regular firefighters and the Auxiliary Fire Service, who often spent days at a time at incident sites. To keep their energy up, it was essential that they were well-fed. In this image, the women are seen intently focusing on their tasks as they learn the art of meal preparation and cooking. The scene is set in a well-equipped kitchen, with a tutor or trainer overseeing the class. The women are engaged in various activities, from mixing ingredients in large bowls to weighing them out on scales. The serious expression on their faces speaks to the importance of their work and the dedication required to support those on the Blitz front line. The London Fire Brigade recognized the crucial role that proper nutrition played in maintaining the strength and morale of their firefighters. By training women in catering, they ensured that hot meals were always available, even during the most intense periods of the Blitz. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that women played in the war effort, both on and off the fire line.
