EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1940 in Bognor Regis, where a group of brave soldiers from The Royal Artillery is seen diligently moving the barrel of a formidable gun. Positioned on the seaward side of Aldwick Avenue's gardens, these men are partaking in a crucial operation during World War II. The image captures their unwavering determination and unity as they work together to handle one of two imposing 5.5 inch guns. Dressed in their military uniforms, these soldiers epitomize strength and resilience amidst the chaos and uncertainty that engulfed the world at that time. This historical photograph is part of the L Alouette Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during wartime. Their dedication to protecting their homeland and preserving freedom resonates through generations. As we reflect upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us pay tribute to these unsung heroes who selflessly put themselves in harm's way for our collective well-being. May their bravery inspire us all to cherish peace and strive for harmony even amidst adversity.
