EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print from December 1941, we see Alderman of Swansea Percy Morris, Deputy Regional Commissioner for Civil Defence in Wales, as he presents awards to Columns Officer Joseph A. Germain and Section Leader John Harding. These brave individuals are being honored for their heroic efforts in saving lives during the tumultuous times of World War II. As Mr. T. A. Varley, a Chief Regimental Fire Officer, looks on with pride on the left side of the frame, we can sense the gravity and significance of this momentous occasion. The camaraderie among these men is palpable as they stand together amidst a backdrop of war and conflict. The photograph captures not only the physical presence of these courageous firefighters but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this era. Their medals, honours, and awards symbolize their unwavering commitment to protecting others in times of great peril.
