EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Ilford Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) members as they stand proudly at Barking Town Quay during World War II. Dated 1940, the image shows a group of firefighters wearing their distinctive tin helmets and protective clothing, ready for action. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) Auxiliary Fire Service was formed in response to the heavy bombing raids on London during the war, with volunteers from all walks of life stepping up to help protect their communities. The Ilford AFS was one such group, and this photograph offers a glimpse into their daily life and dedication. The quay, with its industrial backdrop, adds to the sense of urgency and importance of their work. The 1940s were a time of great hardship and resilience for the people of London, and the bravery and selflessness of the AFS members, like those depicted in this photograph, were crucial in helping the city weather the storm of war. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during a time of extraordinary circumstances.
