I COULD not resist sending you this picture from my archives of Oxford University Press after reading about its private fire brigade celebrating 100 years of fire fighting (Memory Lane, October 19).
It shows members of the brigade around the time of the anniversary 30 years ago.
The trophies are awards won in private fire brigades’ competitions.
The firemen names are; Back row, left to right: K Fortescue, M England, A Dawson, S Kidd, N Wyatt, T Luke, P Radmore, A Parsons.
Front row: K Boyce, P Thompson, S Topp, R Russell (chief officer), H Gibbons, D Ledger, J England
