EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office takes us back to April 1944, amidst the chaos and bravery of World War II. The image showcases four remarkable members of the 9th US Army Air Corps, their faces etched with determination and resilience. In a time when racial segregation was still prevalent in America, this photograph stands as a testament to the invaluable contributions made by African American soldiers during wartime. These courageous individuals defied societal barriers and united under one common goal: to defend their country. The composition captures an air of camaraderie among these servicemen, symbolizing the unbreakable bond forged through shared experiences on the battlefield. Their uniforms bear witness to countless hours spent training and preparing for combat missions that would shape history. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought not only for freedom but also against discrimination. It is a tribute to their unwavering dedication and heroism that paved the way for future generations. Preserved meticulously by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our past while honoring those who served selflessly in times of war. Let it serve as an everlasting reminder that diversity strengthens our nation's fabric and should always be celebrated.
