Found mention of him in my Times Archives search.
Currently researching the details including Names, Addresses, Date died, Age died, How died, Brigade served and many other details of firefighters that have died as a result of being a firefighter.

Names either Albert T Kendall or William Arthur Boyce.

Any info gratefully received!!

Try contacting the London Fire Brigade Museum, they have most of the records.

Hi Bob,

I am doing my PhD research on processes of remembering and forgetting in organization. I'm especially interested in investigating the memory of disasters and its influence on members of organizations. I especially interested in commemoration of firefighters who sacrificed their life to save others.

I want to discuss my research with an expert, who has dealt with this issue and knows the situation. I wonder if I can have your email, or a phone contact, to discuss this further.

unfortunately could not find yours in the forum. would appreciate if you can drop me a line.
my email address is: (*)

kind regards,
Hamid

There is a wonderful memorial to the London firefighters, men and women who lost their lives during the WW2 Blitz. It lists all their names. There are a remarkably large number of them.
It is situated, if I remember correctly, very near St Paul's.
(My father was a part-time fireman in our small West Yorkshire town from 1953 - 1968 - his extra earnings significantly improved the family's standard of living, I guess. I can't recall that he lost any colleagues locally in the line of duty, so we were lucky in that respect)
