NATIONAL FIREFIGHTERS MEMORIAL LONDON...
Standing quite near to Saint Paul's Cathedral near the banks of the River Thames, the National Firefighter's Memorial is a solemn, oft forgotten reminder that some of the bravest of our fighters actually died on British soil.
While a great many British cities endured the malign attentions of the Luftwaffe, it was London that endured the most consistent, carefully targeted hail of bombs.
Beginning on September 7th, 1940, the Luftwaffe attacked the capital over fifty- seven consecutive nights. In the first three weeks alone, the London Fire Brigade dealt with over ten thousand conflagrations.
The personal human courage required in trying to counter continual outbreaks amid a sea of blackened, falling rubble, in streets strewn with debris of all kinds, defies adequate comprehension. Firefighters also had to run the gamut of numerous unexploded bombs that possessed the potential to explode at any given moment.
In all, more than nine hundred men and women of the Fire Service lost their lives during World War Two.
A Monument such as this is the least that we can do in acknowledging the memory of each one of those nine hundred plus individual, human sacrifices.
