EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1939, in the heart of Bognor Regis during World War II. The image showcases a meticulously camouflaged gun emplacement located on Sherwood Road, serving as a poignant reminder of the town's role in defending against potential enemy attacks. As soldiers stand proudly beside their formidable weapon, dressed in their iconic uniforms, one cannot help but feel a sense of admiration for these brave individuals who stood ready to protect their homeland. The attention to detail evident in the camouflage is truly remarkable; it seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, making it difficult for any prying eyes from above to detect its presence. This photograph serves as both a historical record and an artistic testament to human ingenuity during times of conflict. As we delve into this snapshot from history, let us remember that behind every piece of military equipment lies countless stories of sacrifice and bravery. These men risked their lives daily, standing tall against adversity so that future generations could enjoy peace and freedom. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's L Alouettte Collection, this image offers us an invaluable glimpse into Bognor Regis' wartime past. It reminds us not only of our shared history but also serves as a tribute to those who fought tirelessly for our collective security.
