EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Home Guard inspections that took place at County Hall, London during the Second World War. The image shows a group of Home Guard soldiers, a mix of firemen and other volunteers, standing at attention as they are inspected by an officer. The setting is County Hall, a grand and imposing building that served as the headquarters for the London County Council during this period. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their weapons, exude a sense of determination and readiness, reflecting the importance of the Home Guard in defending the city during the war. The presence of firemen in the group underscores the vital role that the London Fire Brigade played in protecting London from both fires and enemy attacks. The year is 1941, and the 1940s are in full swing. The atmosphere is one of seriousness and focus, as the soldiers prepare for their duties in the days and weeks to come. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the Home Guard and the London Fire Brigade during the wartime years.
