264435 Fireman. Robert Parker Auxiliary Fire Service London from:Fulham, London Robert Parker, Bob, having been rejected by the army as unfit for duty, volunteered in 1940 to join the AFS, London Fire Brigade, stationed at Lambeth.He served right through the Blitz until his discharge in 1945. He witnessed some really bad instances, and like many of that generation he never spoke of the horrors he witnessed. It was my Aunt who told me that he did suffer nightmares after WW2, mainly as a result of being in the first squad on the scene after the bombing of Gt Ormond Street children's hospital. That generation was a hard lot, no counselling, no NHS, they just brushed themselves down and carried on, unsung working class heroes the lot of them. The photo shows my Dad in his full glory in the back garden of his downstairs flat, about 1941 (I start to appear on the left hand side!)
