EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bravery and determination of Southern Railway Firemen during the intense air raids of World War II. In the chaotic aftermath of a Luftwaffe bombing raid on September 16, 1940, during the infamous Blitz, these firefighters are seen diligently spraying water onto the roof of a damaged train. With the ominous backdrop of smoke and debris, the scene underscores the relentless bombardment that the British home front faced during this period. Southern Railway employed a dedicated team of eighty A.F.S. (Accident and Fire Services) men to combat the fires caused by incendiary bombs. Their quick response and effective use of hoses and pumps were crucial in preventing the spread of fires and minimizing damage to both the trains and the surrounding infrastructure. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering resilience and heroism displayed by the British people during the darkest days of the war. The firefighters' unyielding efforts to keep the railway system operational despite the constant threat of air raids were a testament to their commitment to keeping the country moving amidst the chaos and destruction.
