EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, West End stage and film star, Miss Judy Campbell, is seen intently focusing on the task at hand as she learns how to use a stirrup pump on the rooftop of a Park Lane block of flats during the Second World War. The year is 1939-1945, and the looming threat of air raids had made firewatching a vital duty for Londoners. Miss Campbell, with her chic bobbed hair and elegant dress, stands out against the backdrop of the cityscape. She wears a protective helmet and holds the long, metal handle of the stirrup pump, her expression a determined mix of concentration and resolve. The rooftop around her is dotted with other firewatchers, all similarly attired, each with their own pumps at the ready. The image captures a moment of resilience and unity in the face of adversity. The Second World War brought Londoners together in the fight against fire and destruction, and Miss Judy Campbell's presence serves as a reminder of the spirit of community that emerged during those challenging times. The stirrup pump, a simple yet effective tool, symbolizes the collective effort to protect their homes and their city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during the war and the unique challenges they faced. It also highlights the bravery and adaptability of the city's residents, who continued to live, work, and contribute to the war effort despite the constant threat of danger. Miss Judy Campbell's experience as a West End star and her newfound role as a firewatcher underscores the idea that everyone had a part to play in the war effort. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made and the strength shown by Londoners during the Second World War.
