General Information
 
Originally contained the names of 1,027 Firemen and 28 Firewomen who,
were killed in the line of duty during the German bombing of England
during WW2.

In 2003 the base plinth was extended to accommodate the names of
another 1,192 Firemen and Firewomen killed in the line of duty in
peacetime.
It was then that it was re-sited at the southern end of the Jubilee
Bridge.

It was Winston Churchill that coined the title "Heroes with Grimy
Faces".   St. Paul's Cathedral would not be here today had it not
been for them.
