EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the dedicated members of the East and North East London (36 Area) of the National Fire Service during World War II. Taken at a training camp in Hadley Wood, Enfield, this image transports us back to May 2nd, 1944. In the foreground stands Number 1 Company, also known as 36 BM (1), proudly displaying the NFS flag from their camp office. These brave firefighters are seen undergoing rigorous physical training against the backdrop of their temporary home. Living a spartan-like existence, they have chosen to forgo shirts and other comforts to focus solely on honing their skills. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of resilience and determination amidst conflict. The men depicted here represent emergency services personnel who selflessly put themselves on the front lines to protect their communities during wartime. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these courageous individuals who trained tirelessly under challenging circumstances. Their commitment to health and fitness is evident as they engage in outdoor exercises that prepare them for any situation that may arise. George Greenwell's remarkable capture serves as a poignant reminder of an era defined by war but also characterized by unwavering bravery within our firefighting community.
