EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1939, a time of great uncertainty and preparation for war. The image showcases a group of brave men who were members of the Esher Auxiliary Fire Service, proudly parading with their Coventry Climax pump. Taken during a demonstration of civil defence and ARP (Air Raid Precautions) procedures at Sandown Park in April 1939, this snapshot captures the essence of dedication and resilience exhibited by these emergency service volunteers. As they march forward with determination etched on their faces, one can almost feel the weighty responsibility they carried on their shoulders. The setting is Surrey's picturesque South East region in England. These firemen formed an integral part of the Home Front efforts during World War Two - an era marked by war and conflict that demanded unwavering commitment from every individual involved. Bernard Alfieri's skillful composition perfectly encapsulates both the camaraderie shared among these firefighters as well as their readiness to protect their community from potential threats. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of those tumultuous times but also pays tribute to all those who selflessly volunteered to safeguard others amidst chaos. As we admire this historical gem captured through Bernard Alfieri's lens, let us reflect upon the courage displayed by these men-only volunteers who stood united in defense against adversity during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
