EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the London Fire Brigade fireboat Massey Shaw is seen returning to the Albert Embankment in London after taking part in the historic Dunkirk evacuation during World War II. The Massey Shaw was one of the 850 vessels that bravely participated in the evacuation of Allied forces between 27 May and 4 June 1940. The sight of the fireboat, with its distinctive red hull and white lettering, would have been a welcome one for the crowds gathered on the embankment, eager to show their gratitude and support for the brave crew and their vital role in the rescue mission. The Massey Shaw, along with other fireboats and civilian vessels, played a crucial part in the evacuation by providing transport and assistance to the thousands of soldiers and civilians stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk. The fireboats were equipped with powerful pumps and hoses, which were used to extinguish fires on the beaches and on the vessels carrying the evacuees. The photograph captures the moment of homecoming for the Massey Shaw and her crew, with people waving and cheering from the shore. The scene is one of jubilation and relief, as the people of London come together to welcome their heroes back from the front lines. The Thames River, with its gentle waves, adds to the serene and peaceful atmosphere, in stark contrast to the chaos and danger that the fireboat and its crew had faced during their time at Dunkirk. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and selflessness of the London Fire Brigade and its crews during wartime, and the important role that fireboats played in the evacuation of Dunkirk. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of London and their unwavering support for their emergency services.
