EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of the Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters (CCCF) stationed in Plymouth, England during World War II. Dated 1942, the image shows a group of Canadian firefighters proudly displaying their new appliances, issued to them for their important role in supporting the British emergency services during the war. The CCCF, also known as the Volunteer Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters, was a military unit consisting of over 3,000 volunteers who left their homes in Canada to serve overseas. They arrived in Britain in 1942, providing much-needed reinforcements for the British fire services, which were stretched thin due to the ongoing conflict. The new appliances in the photograph are a testament to the commitment and support Canada provided to the British war effort. The firefighting equipment, including fire engines, hoses, and other essential tools, were essential for the CCCF to carry out their duties effectively and efficiently. The Canadian firefighters played a crucial role in the war effort on the 2nd Home Front. They were deployed to various locations throughout England and Wales, responding to fires, rescues, and other emergencies. Their presence not only provided much-needed relief to the local fire services but also boosted morale among the British population, who were grateful for the support from their Canadian allies. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the CCCF during World War II. It highlights the important role that volunteers played in the war effort and the enduring bond between Canada and Britain during a time of great need.
