EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sutton Coalfield Battalion of the Warwickshire Home Guard proudly stands in formation, ready for inspection. This print captures a significant moment in history during the tumultuous times of World War II. It was taken on the 15th of December 1940, amidst the devastating air raid damage caused by The Blitz. Led by Captain Wilfrid Bigwood, who raised this formidable battalion, these brave men from four companies within Sutton Park demonstrate their unwavering commitment to protecting their borough and country. Their determined faces reflect both resilience and unity as they stand shoulder to shoulder. The Home Guard played a crucial role on the home front during WWII, defending against potential invasion and providing support to regular armed forces. In this image, we witness firsthand their dedication and preparedness for any challenge that may come their way. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens turned soldiers during wartime. It encapsulates an era defined by bravery, camaraderie, and an unyielding spirit in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who served selflessly in defense of our freedom. May it inspire future generations to appreciate the valor displayed here and honor those who fought valiantly for peace.
