EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, just months before the outbreak of World War II. It captures a group of dedicated individuals from the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) demonstrating how to handle a suspected gas attack during a civil defense exhibition at Sandown Park in Surrey, England. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these brave men showcasing their preparedness and commitment to protecting their fellow citizens on the home front. Clad in protective clothing and donning gas masks, they stand resolute amidst billowing smoke that simulates an actual attack. Each member holds essential tools such as spades and watering cans – symbols of their readiness to combat any threat that may come their way. Bernard Alfieri's expertly captured image not only encapsulates the spirit of unity and resilience prevalent during those tumultuous times but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people for the greater good. Their unwavering determination is palpable through this photograph, which stands as a testament to their courage amidst uncertainty. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as both a tribute to those who served on Britain's frontlines during World War II and an enduring symbol of human strength in times of conflict.
