EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the diligent work of the NFS (National Fire Service) Salvage Corps during World War II. The image shows a team of brave firemen carefully placing protective sheets over machinery and equipment in a factory or workshop setting. The salvage sheets, sewn with great care, serve as a crucial line of defense against water damage. With the threat of fires and water damage looming large during the wartime period, the Salvage Corps played a vital role in minimizing losses and ensuring the continued operation of essential industries. The firemen, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, work methodically, covering each machine and piece of equipment with the protective covers. The scene exudes a sense of urgency and determination, as the workers race against the clock to safeguard the valuable assets from the destructive forces of fire and water. The photograph, taken by the London Fire Brigade, offers a poignant glimpse into the vital role of the Salvage Corps during the 1940s, a time when the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people were put to the test.
