Capturing the Brotherhood - A Tribute to Lostwithiel's Bravest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photo print, we are transported back to September 1991 in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The image immortalizes a significant moment for the local firefighting community as they gather at their beloved fire station on Bodmin Hill. It is a bittersweet occasion, marking the retirement of three esteemed firefighters who have dedicated their lives to serving and protecting the town. The photograph showcases these courageous men standing tall in front of a gleaming fire engine adorned with all the tools of their trade – from fire helmets to high visibility jackets. Their faces reflect years of experience and unwavering commitment etched into every line and crease. Among them stands Vic May, Station Officer, representing leadership and guidance throughout his tenure. Seated beside him are Dave Couch, Dave Abbiss, and Jon Daniell - individuals whose selfless service has come to an end but will forever be remembered for their bravery. Together with their fellow firefighters, they form an unbreakable bond that extends beyond duty; it is a brotherhood forged through shared experiences on countless rescue missions and emergency calls. This snapshot not only pays homage to these remarkable individuals but also serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication exhibited by all Cornish firefighters. As time moves forward, so too does progress - evidenced by the mention that a new fire station was built just one year later on the old cattle market site. Photographer Jonathan Barker expertly
