Leonard George Gladden

Auxiliary Fire Service

from:Brixton

Leonard Gladden is last on right

My grandfather, Leonard Gladden, joined the Auxiliary Fire Service after the outbreak of the Second World War after being granted exemption from military service on medical grounds. Len was stationed at Norwood and tackled fires in and around Croydon. The borough was heavily bombed during the Blitz, with more than 1,300 bombs dropped, terrifying residents and killing many.

Above is a picture of him and his colleagues - they too are our heroes.
