EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilience and bravery of the London Fire Brigade during the intense Blitz of World War II. Taken in the Finsbury area of EC1, the image shows firefighters clearing debris from what was once a sub-fire station located within Hugh Myddleton Primary School. The building, a former school, took a direct hit from a high explosive bomb during the raids of 1940. The wreckage and rubble surrounding the firefighters serve as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of the bombing campaign on London's civilian population. Undeterred by the destruction, these brave men of the London Fire Brigade continue their essential work, ensuring the safety of their community amidst the chaos of wartime. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, is a poignant testament to the frontline service provided by the fire brigade during the darkest days of the Second World War.
