EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and focus of London Fire Brigade (LFB) junior dispatch riders during their training session at the New Cross speedway track in South London on 28 June 1940. Amid the backdrop of World War II, these young men were an essential part of the fire service's transport network, delivering critical information and instructions to various fire stations across the city. The use of motorcycles as a means of transportation was a strategic decision during wartime, allowing for quick and agile responses to emergencies. The riders, dressed in their distinctive LFB uniforms, are seen here under the watchful eye of their instructor, who is positioned at the track's edge. The riders' determined expressions and the sense of urgency in their body language speak volumes about the importance of their role in the fire service during this period. The New Cross speedway track, a popular venue for motorcycle racing, provided an ideal location for the riders to hone their skills and learn the art of high-speed maneuvers. The combination of the track's gritty texture and the motorbikes' powerful engines adds to the overall sense of energy and excitement in the photograph. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the LFB junior dispatch riders during the 1940s, a time when London was under constant threat from air raids and fires. Their vital role in the fire service's transport network played a crucial part in keeping the city moving and ensuring the safety of its residents during the darkest days of World War II.
