Synopsis "The Last Call Out. A Granddaughter's Quest"


"A moving and enjoyable family memoir of bravery, hardship and loss, with a strong sense of time and place." Brian Groom, history writer & journalist.
1938 - A brave Auxiliary fireman who helped tackle a devastating blaze at Stockport County F C's ground, dies of pneumonia, leaving a pregnant wife and a small son bereft as Britain stares into the face of another terrifying world war
2000 - His granddaughter discovers the once-lost grave of that brave firefighter she never met and so begins a quest to uncover more about his life, which leads to the National Firefighters Memorial in London, a meeting with royalty and a last touching tribute from the firefighter's son.
This poignant family memoir combines personal reminiscences with detailed research into the fire service and - moving seamlessly from the 1930's to the present day and back again - delves into the fascinating local history of the town of Stockport over the last century..
"The story really captures the period and the character of the firemen of the time in a lovely warm way.'" Bob Bonner, Fireground Museum, Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
All nett proceeds from the sale of this book will help pay for a permanent headstone for John Francis Lamon's grave, which now contains the remains of his son John and the ashes of John's wife Jean, at Willow Grove Cemetery.
