EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the summer of 1940 on the eastern end of the Esplanade in Bognor Regis. The image showcases a dedicated gun crew amidst the chaos and uncertainty of World War II. These brave soldiers, adorned in their crisp uniforms, stand tall with unwavering determination. The composition exudes a sense of camaraderie as these men work together seamlessly to operate their powerful weapon. Their faces reveal both focus and resolve, embodying the spirit of resilience that defined this tumultuous era. Positioned against the backdrop of a serene beach, it is almost surreal to witness such contrasting elements coexist within one frame. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's L Alouette Collection, this photograph serves as an invaluable historical artifact. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives and duties undertaken by those who fought for our freedom during World War II. As we reflect upon this poignant image, we are reminded not only of their sacrifices but also of our responsibility to honor their legacy. With its rich symbolism and evocative imagery, this print encapsulates an important chapter in history that should never be forgotten.
