EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and danger of the Blitz in London during World War II, specifically the devastating fire at the Blackfriars Goods Depot on 16 October 1940. The image, taken during the dark and chaotic night of the air raid, depicts a group of brave firefighters from the London Fire Brigade (LFB) valiantly battling the inferno. The flames, illuminating the night sky with an eerie brightness, consume the goods depot, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. The firemen, dressed in their protective gear and carrying hoses and drums, are focused on their mission to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further. The scene is a stark reminder of the destructive power of war and the unwavering courage and determination of the emergency services during times of crisis. This historical photograph transports us back to the 1940s, a decade marked by the Second World War and the Blitz, and serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
