How the boys appreciate it!, 1940
How the boys appreciate it!, 1940. From I m A Firegirl, booklet on the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS), in Tucks Better Little Book series. The Auxiliary Fire Service was formed in 1938 in Britain as part of the Civil Defence Service to supplement the work of brigades at local level. Members of the AFS were unpaid part-time volunteers, but could be called up for whole-time paid service if necessary. Men and women could join, the latter mainly in an administrative role. The illustrations in I m A Firegirl depict what were seen as traditional feminine qualities, (caring, nurturing, making tea!) but also show women being disciplined and efficient. [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. London, 1940]

How the Boys Appreciate It!, 1940
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken in London during the tumultuous years of World War II, offers a glimpse into the invaluable work of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS). Formed in 1938 as part of Britain's Civil Defence Service, this dedicated group of unpaid part-time volunteers played a crucial role in supplementing local fire brigades. In times of need, they could be called up for whole-time paid service. The image beautifully captures both men and women working together harmoniously to protect their city from devastating air raids. While women mainly served in administrative roles, they also demonstrated their caring and nurturing qualities by making tea for their fellow firefighters. This illustration showcases not only traditional feminine attributes but also highlights women's discipline and efficiency. Amidst the chaos and destruction brought about by aerial warfare, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience displayed on the home front. The appreciation shown by "the boys" towards these brave individuals is palpable through their expressions and gestures. As we delve into history through this remarkable print from Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. , it becomes evident that gender norms were challenged during this era. Women proved themselves capable professionals who willingly volunteered to contribute to the war effort alongside their male counterparts. This snapshot encapsulates a typical scene from an extraordinary time when ordinary people stepped forward voluntarily to defend their nation against adversity. It stands as a testament to courage, unity, and unwavering dedication exhibited by those who selflessly served on London's frontlines during World War II.
