EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photo print, we are transported back to the solemn occasion of the Tillington War Memorial Dedication in June 1947. The Minister stands tall, conducting a heartfelt service in front of a beautifully crafted stone wall adorned with a commemorative plaque for those who bravely served during the years of 1939-1945. Surrounding him are several choristers and members of the congregation, their faces filled with reverence as they pay tribute to the fallen heroes. The image captures a moment frozen in time, where emotions run deep and memories echo through every corner. It serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst devastation and loss, unity can be found within communities. The Royal Sussex regiment is represented proudly alongside RAF personnel and VAD nurses, all donning their respective uniforms - symbols of duty and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it compels us to reflect on the significance of remembrance. Each individual present at this dedication holds their own personal connection to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their presence here speaks volumes about their commitment to honor these brave souls. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph not only immortalizes an important event but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. May we forever cherish these memories etched into our collective consciousness – reminding us never to forget those who gave everything for our tomorrow
