Description: | Tram driver Mr A E Sharman of Camberwell depot shows his O.B.E. to his small son. Mr Sharman's wife and Miss Marjorie Sedgwick look on. The photograph was taken at Buckingham Palace, where Mr Sharman and family had attended an award ceremony.
The medal was awarded in recognition of Mr Sharman's bravery. After an air raid, when Camberwell garage was in flames, he drove buses out of the building.
These women have dressed up to look their best, which was hard using wartime rations of clothes. Much care has gone into their hairstyles and their hats. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Sport & General/ Alpha Press | Subjects: | London at War Work | Temporal: | circa 1941 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
