Aux. Fireman. James Ernest Phillis
Civil Defence Service Auxiliary Fire Service
from:Newport
My Dad James Phillis served in the AFS out of the Mendalgief Road station, Newport from 1939 until the end of the war as an engine driver and auxiliary firefighter. I do not know whether he drove a K2 or a K4 engine as I do not have a photograph of such. After the war, he joined Newport County Transport as a bus driver and remained there until he retired in 1976. He passed away in June 1983.
