EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment from the training sessions of the Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) during World War II. Formed in 1933, the AFS played a pivotal role in supporting the London Fire Brigade's efforts to combat the devastating effects of the bombing raids and Blitz upon London. With men being called away to active military service, women answered the call to join the AFS in their thousands, stepping up to help the war effort in this crucial capacity. In this image, a group of trainee firewomen can be seen marching in formation, practicing their squad drills as part of their rigorous basic training. Dressed in their uniforms, they display a determined and focused expression, reflecting their commitment to the challenging role they were preparing to undertake. The photograph transports us back to the 1940s, a time of resilience, unity, and courage in the face of adversity. The AFS women firefighters proved that they were every bit as capable as their male counterparts, making invaluable contributions to the war effort and leaving a lasting legacy in the history of firefighting.
