EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the L Alouette Collection, housed at the West Sussex Record Office, takes us back to a significant period in history - Bognor Regis during World War II. The image portrays a powerful scene of action and unity as soldiers are captured mid-throw, launching gas canisters onto the beach. The uniformed soldiers stand tall against the backdrop of sand and sea, their determined expressions revealing their commitment to defending their homeland. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during one of humanity's darkest times. Bognor Regis, once known for its tranquil seaside charm, was transformed into an essential military base during this tumultuous era. The sight of soldiers engaged in such intense activity on its shores is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we cannot help but reflect on the immense challenges faced by those who fought valiantly to protect our freedoms. Their unwavering dedication and courage continue to inspire generations today. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives, this print offers us a glimpse into a chapter that shaped not only Bognor Regis but also the entire nation. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and reminds us never to forget the sacrifices made by those who came before us
