EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a Fire Fighters Demonstration in ARP (Air Raid Precaution) in Hull, Yorkshire during World War Two. The image takes us back to a time of great turmoil and devastation, when the city faced relentless attacks from the skies. Hull experienced large-scale bombings throughout the war, with March 1941 being particularly devastating, claiming over 200 lives. The most concentrated attacks occurred on the nights of 7/8 and 8/9 May 1941, resulting in nearly 400 deaths. Another significant assault took place in July that year, causing an additional 143 fatalities. The resilience and bravery of these fire fighters is evident as they demonstrate their emergency response skills amidst bomb damage and chaos. With uniforms donned and determination etched on their faces, they stand united against the destructive forces unleashed by Luftwaffe raids. During this period, Hull spent more than 1,000 hours under alert from June 1940 until the end of the war in 1945. Tragically, almost 1,200 people lost their lives due to bombing within the city's boundaries. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time circa March 1941 through Mirrorpix's lens, let us remember those who valiantly fought to protect their community during one of history's darkest chapters – World War Two.
