EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of wartime Llanelly, where the local fire brigade transformed into an Air Raid Precautions (ARP) squad. The image captures a significant moment before their first gas test at the fire station, circa 1941. In this historic snapshot, we see Supt. W. Protheroe, proudly standing as Captain of the Brigade, exuding strength and determination. Beside him stands Inspector Alun Williams, who serves as the ARP Instructor for this brave group of men. The composition radiates a sense of unity and camaraderie among these dedicated individuals who have come together to protect their community during one of history's darkest periods. Their uniforms bear witness to their dual roles as firefighters and defenders against air raids. As World War II rages on in distant lands, it is here on the home front that these heroes stand tall against potential threats from above. They are prepared for any eventuality - be it fires or enemy attacks - ready to put themselves in harm's way to safeguard those they serve. This photograph not only immortalizes Llanellys' ARP squad but also symbolizes the resilience and unwavering spirit exhibited by countless communities throughout war-torn Britain during this tumultuous era. It serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifices and unwavering dedication to protecting their homeland from harm's reach.
