EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the crew of a mobile kitchen, comprised of three cooks and a driver, from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) during World War II. The team, dressed in white overalls, are seen standing at attention, ready for inspection by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth at Lambeth HQ on 6 December 1944. The mobile kitchen was an essential component of the LFB's operations during the Blitz, providing regular and auxiliary firefighters with hot meals during the war. The cooks and chefs worked tirelessly to prepare and serve food, ensuring that the brave men and women on the frontlines were well-fed and nourished. The mobile kitchen was a vital part of the LFB's wartime catering services, and its crew played a crucial role in supporting the fire brigade's efforts to keep London safe during the darkest days of World War II. This image, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the LFB during the war and the important role that women played in the organization as cooks and support staff.
