EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history when "The King has approved the institution of flags for the National Fire Service and the Civil Defence Services". The image showcases two distinct flags that symbolize these crucial emergency services during the 1940s, amidst the chaos of World War II. The National Fire Service flag, displayed proudly at the masthead, features a striking combination of blue and red quarters. In its first quarter proudly sits the iconic Union Flag, representing unity and strength. The fourth quarter bears the badge of honor for the National Fire Service, signifying their unwavering commitment to protecting lives and properties. Similarly, showcased alongside is the Civil Defence flag with its vibrant blue and yellow quarters. This emblematic flag also incorporates the Union Flag in its first quarter as a testament to national solidarity. The fourth quarter displays an emblem representing Civil Defence Services' dedication towards safeguarding communities during times of crisis. On Wednesday 18th August 1943, Mr. Herbert Morrison - Home Secretary and Minister of Home Security - will raise high this remarkable National Fire Service flag during a grand parade held in London. This event marks an important milestone: celebrating two years since its establishment. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a poignant reminder of those brave individuals who selflessly served on our home front during World War II's darkest days.
