The Pond And Three Kings 1959
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was based at St Helier Ambulance Station in Morden. On afternnon in 1968 we got a call to Three Kings Pond to a young lad who had paddled to the island and in doing so had cut his foot badly. I rolled up my uniform trousers but keeping my shoes on paddled out to the island where I bandaged his his foot and carried him off the island to the applause of the watching crowd
