With unwavering loyalty and patience, a Red Cross dog waits anxiously for its human companion's safe return after another successful rescue mission. The crew members aboard Barry lifeboat Arthur and Blanche Harris Frederick Batten and Eric Fry exemplify selflessness as they risk their lives to save others at sea. During the devastating Blitz in London, an ambulance stationed at Ladywell becomes an emblem of hope and salvation for countless wounded victims during WW2. Firefighters in Lostwithiel demonstrate immense bravery as they battle against fierce flames to protect lives and property in Cornwall during September 1991.
