EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the devastating aftermath of the Petworth School Bombing in September 1942. The remains of the once vibrant school lie scattered amidst a scene of destruction, serving as a stark reminder of the horrors inflicted upon innocent lives during wartime. In this haunting image from the George Garland Collection, we witness the tragic consequences of a mistake, an accident that forever altered countless young lives. The bomb that fell upon this educational institution was never intended for such an innocent target - it was a cruel twist of fate. The photograph serves as both a historical record and a testament to resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us not only of the physical damage caused by war but also its profound emotional impact on children who should have been shielded from such atrocities. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's vast archives, this image stands as evidence that history must never be forgotten or repeated. It calls upon us to reflect on our collective responsibility to protect future generations from similar tragedies. As we gaze at these remnants, let us remember those affected by this bombing and honor their memory by striving for peace and understanding in our world today. May their sacrifice serve as a constant reminder that every child deserves safety, love, and education – even in times overshadowed by conflict.
