Amidst the chaos of Blitz-struck London during World War II, a beacon of resilience emerged in the form of the AFS firefighters, led by the brave Miss Angela Dudley-Ward. In a stark contrast to the destruction around them, a Sculling-Race for the Championship of the World unfolded on the serene Thames, sketched above Hammersmith Bridge. The race saw the participation of renowned scullers like Scott Laycock and Elias Laycock, the latter being an Australian champion. The Laycock name held significant military weight as well, with General Sir J.F. Laycock, a British Army officer, serving valiantly in World War I. The race took place in the picturesque town of Bradford, BD22 0, while King George VI, Sir A. Lascelles, and Major-General Laycock looked on, a testament to the indomitable spirit of competition and survival amidst the trials of war.
