EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the L Alouette Collection, housed at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into a significant moment in history. Captured during World War II in Bognor Regis, it showcases a soldier engaged in training exercises on the beach. The soldier is seen throwing a gas canister with precision and determination. The setting of this intense training session takes place on a makeshift range behind the protective sea wall. The ruggedness of the environment adds to the authenticity and urgency felt during wartime. Soldiers clad in their uniforms stand alongside gun emplacements, readying themselves for battle. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who dedicated their lives to defending their country during one of humanity's darkest periods. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to protecting others and highlights the rigorous preparation they underwent before facing enemy forces. Preserved within West Sussex County Council's archives, this photograph provides invaluable insight into an important chapter of local history. It stands as testament to both the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by those involved in military operations during World War II
