EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of unity and resilience during wartime London, as firefighters from the London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB) and the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) march proudly through Lewisham High Street in the 1940s. The scene is set in the heart of southeast London during World War II, with policemen skillfully controlling traffic to ensure the safety of the marching firefighters. The LCC-LFB and AFS were instrumental in protecting London from the devastating effects of the Blitz, working tirelessly to extinguish fires and provide essential emergency services. The AFS, an auxiliary organization, was formed in response to the heavy demand for firefighters during the war, with volunteers from the community joining the effort to support the professional fire brigade. The firefighters' determined march through the bustling Lewisham High Street underscores their commitment to their duty, despite the challenges and hardships of wartime. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women during the darkest days of the 20th century. The image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Londoners during World War II, as they came together to face the adversity of the Blitz with courage and determination. This powerful photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of London's firefighting community during the 1940s.
