EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the West Sussex County Council's collection, we are transported back to the year 1940 in Bognor Regis. The image captures a significant moment as the Duke of Gloucester, adorned in his distinguished military uniform, inspects the sea defences during World War II. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and determination as soldiers stand tall alongside their leader. Their uniforms bear witness to their commitment and sacrifice for their country during one of its darkest hours. The Duke's presence exudes authority and reassurance, symbolizing unity and resilience in the face of adversity. Bognor Regis, a coastal town known for its picturesque beaches, was not exempt from the threat posed by enemy forces during wartime. The sea defences depicted in this photograph serve as a poignant reminder of the constant vigilance required to protect both land and people. Preserved within the L Alouette Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an era defined by bravery and solidarity. It serves as a testament to those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding our shores against potential invasion. This print encapsulates not only a specific moment but also represents countless untold stories of heroism that unfolded throughout World War II. It stands as a tribute to all those who served selflessly on behalf of their nation - reminding us never to forget their sacrifices or take our freedom for granted.
