EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of history from the tumultuous years of World War Two. Taken in Sherwood Road, Bognor Regis between 1939 and 1945, it showcases a gun emplacement concealed under intricate camouflage netting. The image is part of the esteemed L Alouette Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office. During this period, soldiers underwent rigorous training to defend their homeland against potential enemy attacks. This particular scene depicts brave servicemen diligently preparing for battle within the confines of their hidden stronghold. With an air of determination and focus, these soldiers exemplify the unwavering spirit that defined those dark times. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War Two. It encapsulates both the ingenuity employed to protect strategic locations and the immense courage displayed by those who served on home soil. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into an era marked by uncertainty and resilience. As we reflect upon this image today, let us honor all those who fought valiantly for peace and freedom during one of humanity's darkest chapters - without mentioning any commercial use or specific companies associated with it.
