EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the River Headquarters crest of the NFS River Thames Formation, an essential component of the London Fire Brigade during World War II. The formation, which covered the Greater London area of the River Thames, was composed of approximately eighteen fireboats, fire floats, and other tenders. The image portrays the emblem of the NFS River Thames Formation, which features a bold, stylized design of a fireman in full regalia, holding a hose and standing atop a robin, a symbol of the Royal Navy. The river was a vital transportation route during the war, and these fireboats and tenders played a crucial role in protecting the area from fires that could have devastating consequences on the city and its inhabitants. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the wartime spirit and the heroic efforts of the firefighters who manned these vessels. This evocative print is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the London Fire Brigade during a pivotal moment in history.
