Brighton - Summer helmets c.1967
By Jo Blake
The famous white helmets were introduced for daytime summer wear in 1933. They ceased six years later during the second world war but were re-introduced between 1952 and 1968. This photograph shows the storeman Bert Holcombe with the white helmets which were handed back when the Sussex Force was created on January 1968.
