EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during World War II as Clement Attlee, then Lord Privy Seal in Winston Churchill's coalition government, inspects hosepipes at Wimbledon Common alongside firefighters from the London Fire Brigade (LFB), National Fire Service (NFS), and Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS). Dated August 1941, this image underscores the collective efforts to safeguard London during the war. Amidst the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, the importance of a reliable water delivery system for firefighting purposes was paramount. Attlee's presence at the hosepipe tests signified the government's commitment to ensuring the effectiveness of the fire services in the face of potential threats. The firefighters, dressed in their protective gear, are seen testing the water jets from the hoses, ensuring that they are in good working order. The nationalised fire services were undergoing rigorous inspections to maintain their readiness for any emergency situations. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the wartime spirit of unity and collaboration between the government and the emergency services, as they worked together to protect the city during the challenging 1940s. The image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the British people during World War II.
