EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "How to extinguish a fire bomb" we are transported back to the harrowing days of January 1941 during World War II. The image captures a man courageously crouching in the doorway of a smoke-filled room, his face determined as he battles against an imminent threat. With his stirrup pump firmly grasped, he aims it around the edge of the door, desperately attempting to extinguish the raging flames caused by a fire bomb. This powerful snapshot encapsulates the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by individuals on the home front during times of conflict. As air raids and bombings became all too common, civilians were forced to become their own defenders. Armed with rudimentary weapons like stirrup pumps, they fought tirelessly to protect their homes and loved ones from destruction. The haunting atmosphere created by billowing smoke serves as a stark reminder of the constant danger faced by those living through such turbulent times. It also highlights how ordinary people rose above adversity, displaying extraordinary bravery in their efforts to safeguard what was dear to them. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember not only the sacrifices made but also pay tribute to those unsung heroes who valiantly defended their communities amidst chaos and uncertainty.
