Joe Saunders was a good friend of my family. Joe was a volunteer (reserved) fireman in Wickford, and we would often hear the fire siren and Joe would rush off to the fire station. He would take great pride in his part time brigade getting to a fire before the full time brigade from Basildon. Joe was a tailor by trade and my mother used to do tailoring work for him at home. I knew both his daughters, although I was a bit younger than them. These pictures bring back memories.
