EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Job done! - May 1945" we are transported back in time to a moment of profound reflection. A home guardsman, dressed immaculately in his uniform, sits alone amidst the remnants of a tumultuous era. The image captures the essence of resilience and sacrifice that defined those who served during World War II. As he gazes into the distance, one can only imagine the weight of emotions coursing through his mind. Perhaps he contemplates the battles fought, lives lost, and victories won. This dedicated soldier embodies unwavering determination and an unyielding commitment to protecting his homeland. The details within this photograph are strikingly poignant – from his cap perched proudly on his head to the belt cinching tightly around his waist. These symbols represent not just military attire but also a sense of duty and honor ingrained deep within him. Preserved as part of the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history's pages. It serves as a reminder that behind every war lies countless individuals who selflessly put their lives on hold for the greater good. Let us remember those brave souls who stood tall against adversity so that future generations could enjoy peace and freedom. Their sacrifices should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
