EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the L Allouette Collection, we are transported back to the era of World War II in Bognor Regis. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers from the Royal Artillery, diligently moving the barrel of one of two powerful 5.5 inch guns that were strategically positioned on the seaward side of gardens in Aldwick Avenue. Dressed immaculately in their military uniforms, these men epitomize strength and determination as they work together seamlessly to handle this formidable piece of artillery. Their unwavering focus is evident, reflecting their commitment to protecting their homeland during a time when uncertainty loomed large. The historical significance captured within this photograph cannot be understated. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought valiantly during World War II. These courageous soldiers played an integral role in defending our shores and ensuring our freedom remained intact. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in history. As we reflect upon it today, let us honor those who served with gratitude and admiration for their selflessness and bravery amidst such challenging circumstances.
