The Brigade in the early 1930s. Leonard Lawson writes, " It’s a similar turnout to that shown at the top of page 1, but a closer look will reveal that it was taken at a different (probably later) time. For example, the firemen are wearing proper helmets in place of flat berets. Some of the personnel are different people, too, but again, my father is standing, 2nd from right."

Leonard Lawson comments:-"This scan of an old copy of the Bury Free Press is sadly undated. I suspect that it pre-dates my father’s time in the Service."	Leonard Lawson comments:-"Regretfully, I have no further information about this image, there was nothing written on the back. But I can tell you that my father Cyril Lawson is standing, 2nd from right, front row."	Leonard Lawson comments:-"Again, there’s no information on the back, but my father Cyril Lawson is seated, in the driving seat, the 1st left in the photo, but the right-most of the 3 seated in the vehicle when looking in the direction of travel (if you know what I mean)."
