EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of the Cold War era, where members of the Civil Defence in Albert Road Croydon trained under realistic conditions. The dedicated Range Supervisor, Charles Caldicott, oversaw the construction of a bomb-blasted village for this purpose. In this particular snapshot frozen in time on December 8th, 1965, we witness an intense rescue exercise taking place. Range Supervisor Charles Caldicott stands attentively without his tin helmet as four members of his staff carry out their mission. On the stretcher lies Stuart Lassman, an assistant civil defence officer from G. P. O. , portraying a casualty who needs immediate attention. The scene is filled with remnants of destruction - rubble and wreckage scattered around them. These brave men donning overalls and tin helmets navigate through this simulated disaster zone with unwavering determination. Their commitment to training shines through as they work together seamlessly to save lives amidst chaos. Photographer Tom King has captured not only a moment frozen in time but also a glimpse into an era defined by tension and preparedness for potential nuclear threats. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes during uncertain times. Memory Lane Prints allows us to revisit history through evocative images like this one – reminding us of our past while honoring those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our safety and security.
