The Mayor of Rugby, Councillor Horace Stephens, said bon voyage to the party from Rugby
The Mayor of Rugby, Councillor Horace Stephens, said bon voyage to the party from Rugby Fire Station who are travelling to Rugbys twin town, Evreux in France, in one of the brigades pump and personnel carriers. They will take part too in processions and attend ceremonies to commemorate the centenary of a Paris Fire. The men taking the trip are A.D. Wilkshire, A.G. Griffin, J. Colledge, Leading Fireman I. Bealing, Station Officer R. Hall, Sub-officer A. Watters and the driver M. West.
The Palais des Tuileries was a royal palace in Paris. It stood on the right bank of the River Seine until 1871, when it was destroyed in the upheaval during the suppression of the Paris Commune. On May 23, 1871, twelve men under the orders of a Commune extremist, Dardelle, set the Tuileries on fire at 7 p.m. using petroleum, liquid tar, and turpentine. The fire lasted for 48 hours and entirely consumed the palace. It was only on May 25 that the Paris fire brigades and the 26th battalion of the Africa Chasseurs managed to put out the fire. Other portions of the Louvre were also set on fire by Commune extremists and entirely destroyed. The museum itself was only miraculously saved.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the Mayor of Rugby, Councillor Horace Stephens bidding farewell to a group of brave individuals from the Rugby Fire Station. They are embarking on an extraordinary journey to Evreux, France, in one of the brigades' impressive pump and personnel carriers. Their mission? To participate in processions and attend ceremonies commemorating the centenary of a devastating fire that engulfed Paris. Amongst these courageous men are A. D. Wilkshire, A. G. Griffin, J. Colledge, Leading Fireman I. Bealing, Station Officer R. Hall, Sub-officer A. Watters, and their skilled driver M. West – all ready to face any challenge that may come their way. The photograph takes us back to May 14th, 1971 – a significant date etched in history when tragedy struck the Palais des Tuileries in Paris during the suppression of the Paris Commune movement in 1871. The twelve men under Dardelle's extremist orders set this majestic royal palace ablaze using petroleum and other flammable substances. For two days straight, flames ravaged through the iconic structure until finally extinguished by heroic efforts from both Paris fire brigades and Africa Chasseurs battalion on May 25th. This remarkable image captures not only a momentous occasion but also serves as a reminder of our firefighters' unwavering dedication towards protecting lives and preserving historical treasures for future generations.
