EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A. F. S play A. R. P wardens at Wellington way school, Bow in East London" we are transported back to the 1930s amidst the chaos of World War Two. The image captures a moment of respite and camaraderie as two groups, the Wardens on the left and the A. F. S (Auxiliary Fire Service) on the right, engage in a friendly game of chance to determine who will take charge. The atmosphere is palpable with anticipation as both teams eagerly await their fate. Dartboards adorn the walls behind them, symbolizing not only leisure but also precision and strategy - qualities essential during times of conflict. It is October 26th, 1939; tensions run high as war rages outside these school walls. David Johnson's skillful lens freezes this fleeting moment forever. We see determination etched across their faces as they toss for victory. Who will emerge triumphant? The A. F. S wins this round, perhaps foreshadowing their future success in protecting lives from fires caused by air raids. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil and uncertainty, humanity finds solace in simple pleasures such as games and friendly competition. It immortalizes an era defined by sacrifice and unity while paying tribute to those brave men who served their country selflessly during one of history's darkest chapters.
