EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of intense training during the First Aid competition held in Mexborough, South Yorkshire. The artist behind this remarkable image is Michael Walters, whose lens beautifully portrays an important event organized by the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) in response to their new power station opening. In this snapshot frozen in time from the 1960s, we witness a dedicated volunteer being lifted onto a stretcher with utmost care and precision. It is evident that these individuals are practicing their life-saving skills diligently as they prepare for any mishaps that may arise within their community. The atmosphere exudes both determination and camaraderie as men come together to ensure the well-being of others. Located in Doncaster, England, this competition showcases not only the commitment of these volunteers but also highlights Britain's emphasis on health and safety during that era. Through monochrome tones and impeccable composition by Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we are transported back to a time when science and medicine were rapidly advancing. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication of those involved in first aid training while emphasizing the importance placed on public welfare at that time. As we admire this historical piece captured by Michael Walters' discerning eye, let us appreciate how far our society has progressed since then while acknowledging those who have paved the way for our present-day practices.
