WWII firefighter’s role call

The daughter of an auxiliary firefighter has found a photograph of him and his crew – and would like the help of South Holland residents to name the other members.

Margaret Harrison’s father, Stanley Robert Mowson, was an auxiliary fireman during the Second World War.

Margaret said: “When he died we found this photograph of him and his colleagues.”

She then wondered who her father worked with and has asked for The Voice’s help in tracking down any of the personnel or relatives of the men pictured in the photograph.

If you recognise any of the 14 people in the picture, get in touch with Margaret by calling 01775 725893

Alternatively, you can email information to news@spaldingvoice.co.uk and we will pass on any information to Margaret.
