What an amazing story. My step father was in the AFS stationed at Court Rd, Sparkhill. The Officer in charge at one time was Harry Bagshaw, dads best friend and best man when he married my widowed mom. I don't know the dates of his service there but will need to find out. His stories about the blitz of Coventry and Plymouth to which he was apparently sent led my older brother and me to join the Fire service too. Between us we served 55 years in different Brigades. If anyone can help or advise me how to find the dates of dads service please answer.
Thanks, Sparkhill Boy.
