EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the historic moment of the Dedication of St John Ambulance in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. It was November 1981 when Rev. Robert Watton, the esteemed Vicar of Lostwithiel, stood tall as he blessed and consecrated the brand new ambulance with unwavering dedication. Standing by his side is Superintendent Myrtle Redmond, a beacon of compassion and expertise within the St John Ambulance organization. The significance of this event is further highlighted by the presence of other notable figures who graced this solemn occasion. Reverend Olvey, a respected Methodist Church Minister known for his commitment to community service, joined forces with Jim and Pat Jeffery - Mayor and Mayoress - to honor this milestone in healthcare provision. Captured through Jonathan Barker's lens at George VI Playing Field against the backdrop of a milk factory, this photograph encapsulates not only an act of devotion but also showcases unity among different faiths and civic leaders coming together for a common cause. As we delve into our past through images like these preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are reminded that acts of selflessness have always been integral to society's fabric. This poignant snapshot serves as a testament to those who tirelessly serve their communities while inspiring future generations to continue fostering compassion and care for one another.
