EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and support during wartime as it depicts Mary Belbin, a brave and dedicated firewoman serving at Testwood, where the Canadians were training as part of the Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters (CCCF) during World War II. The CCCF, also known as the Volunteer Corps of Canadian Fire-fighters, was stationed in England between 1942 and 1945 to provide essential firefighting services and support the British Fire Service during the 2nd World War. Mary, a local resident, is seen here serving refreshments during the Corps' field days. The Canadians trained rigorously to ensure they were prepared for emergencies on the Home Front and overseas. The image is a poignant reminder of the vital role these volunteers played in the war effort, providing essential services and demonstrating the spirit of cooperation between the British and Canadian forces during this pivotal historical period. Circa 1942.
