EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Polish Sergeant in May 1948, proudly donning his army uniform as part of the Polish Free Forces. The intensity in his eyes and the determination etched on his face tell a story of resilience and bravery amidst the chaos of war. With an air of authority, this half-length portrait showcases a man who has fought valiantly alongside his fellow soldiers. The badges and ribbons adorning his uniform serve as reminders of battles won and sacrifices made. Each emblem represents not only personal achievements but also symbolizes the collective strength and unity among allies during those tumultuous times. This photograph is a testament to the unwavering spirit that fueled these fighters' resolve. As we gaze upon this image, it's impossible not to ponder on what this soldier may have experienced during wartime - tales untold yet forever etched into history. His presence evokes gratitude for all those who selflessly fought for freedom, often at great personal cost. Although disbandment may have marked the end of their military service, their legacy lives on through photographs like these – preserving moments frozen in time that continue to inspire future generations. Thanks to George Garland's collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, we are granted a glimpse into our shared past; one filled with courage, sacrifice, and unyielding dedication to protecting liberty
