Fireman Arthur John Porter
Auxiilary Fire Service
from:Abbey Road, London
Arthur Porter was my father who joined the AFS and was based at Lords Cricket Ground in St John's Wood. The vehicles used to tow the pump were London taxis, now known as black cabs. He went through the London Blitz fighting the numerous fires.
He was eventually invalided out because of a hernia, but was then called up for the Army in the Royal Army Ordnance Corps finishing up in North Africa and Italy.
